HC Deb 19 May 1966 vol 728 c283W
Mr. Lipton

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action he is taking to improve the representation of British industry at the Brussels Trade Fair.

Mr. Jay

The products of no less than 131 British firms were exhibited at the recent Brussels International Fair. I regard this as a creditable participation in view of the efforts being made by British industry at other major overseas exhibitions. The Board of Trade is very ready to consider proposals for collective displays under the Joint Venture Scheme by which the Board assists groups of firms sponsored by a trade organisation or other appropriate body.
