§ 103. Mr. Nabarroasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will arrange to publish in the Board of Trade Journal a statement of views of the National Association of British Manufacturers, as submitted to him by that body, on the subject of fiscal incentives for British exporters, having regard to the views of the Federation of British Industries on that topic which have already been printed in the Board of Trade Journal.
§ Mr. ErrollExtracts from the F.B.I. Report were published in the Journal because it was thought that the subject matter was of general interest to the industrial and trading community. The fact of publication carried no implication that the Board of Trade necessarily endorsed the views expressed in the Report.
It would not be in accordance with practice to publish comment on the Report in the Journal. If the N.A.B.M. produces a report of its own, surveying the problem in the same comprehensive way as the F.B.I. has done, I shall be glad to consider whether it would be appropriate to publish extracts from it in the Journal.
