HC Deb 09 May 1963 vol 677 c80W
26. Mr. A. Henderson

asked the President of the Board of Trade to what extent he is assisting British firms to participate in the United States World Fair in 1964.

Mr. D. Price

The New York World's Fair, 1964–65, has not been registered by the Bureau which administers the International Exhibitions Convention as satisfying the conditions of the Convention. This does not debar British firms from taking part, but the use of Government funds to assist them would be clearly inconsistent with our obligations under the Convention.
