§ 55. Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is satisfied that embassy staffs abroad are sufficiently aware of the need for a sales drive in order to achieve the minimum increase of 5½ per cent. in British exports laid down in the National Plan; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. M. StewartYes. I am satisfied that Her Majesty's Government's ambassadors and their staffs are fully aware of the National Plan, and are actively and effectively playing their part in helping to achieve the required rate of increase. This is indeed confirmed by the large number of letters of appreciation received from exporters of the assistance given to them by embassy staffs.
