HC Deb 07 July 1966 vol 731 c82W
42. Mr. Moonman

asked the President of the Board of Trade, how many export officers are employed by his Department; and how many have had experience in industry or sales management.

Mr. Mason

Eighty-three officers are employed full-time on work of export promotion in the Board of Trade's nine Regional Offices. Some have had industrial or commercial experience but I do not regard this as a necessary qualification.
