46. Lady Gammans

asked the President of the Board of Trade to what extent, when giving his recent advice to smaller firms about methods of increasing their exports, he included advice about the advantages to be gained by requiring their overseas representatives to be proficient in foreign languages.

Mr. Erroll

Whenever a suitable opportunity arises the value of proficiency in foreign languages as an aid to promoting exports is emphasised.
