§ 44. Mr. Francis Noel-Bakerasked the President of the Board of Trade what steps were taken to ensure that the British Trade Centre in New York reflected the highest standards of modern design now being achieved in Great Britain, before he gave assistance to the Centre; and what co-operation there is in this field with the Council of Industrial Design's Design Centre in London.
§ Mr. JayThe British Trade Centre in New York was an initiative of the British-American Chamber of Commerce there. In providing assistance towards it, the Board of Trade did not seek to impose conditions about design standards generally. There has been no formal co-operation between the British-American Chamber of Commerce and the Council of Industrial Design.
