§ 56. Commander Courtneyasked the President of the Board of Trade what communication he has received from the Chinese authorities concerning British industrial exhibitions in Peking; when it was received; and what action he has taken to promulgate this information to British industry.
§ Mr. GreenMy right hon. Friend has received no communication from the Chinese authorities on this subject. He understands, however, that in response to an earlier initiative on their part the Sino-British Trade Council were invited last autumn by the Chinese to organise displays of certain British products in Peking, and that they have informed the industries concerned and are in process of working out detailed arrangements for some exhibitions in 1963.
