HC Deb 12 March 1964 vol 691 cc75-6W
19. Miss Quennell

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development what proposals he has for the establishment, using the services of trade commissioners, of British food centres in foreign countries, in order to encourage the export of British products; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Heath

No proposals for the opening of such centres has been put to me by the exporters of British foods. I will certainly consider any suggestions put to me, but I think that the other methods of encouraging exports which have been adopted are probably more effective.
