HC Deb 21 January 1965 vol 705 c117W
71. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will consider plans for increasing British exports by the use of exhibition ships, along the lines successfully employed by the Japanese and German Governments.

Mr. Redhead

No. Having regard to the heavy cost and other disadvantages of exhibition ships, I see no reason to question the preference which British industry has shown for conventional trade fairs.
