HC Deb 25 July 1967 vol 751 c91W
71. Mr. Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs whether he will arrange for the exhibits in the British Pavilion at Canada's Expo 67 to be displayed in London in due course.

Mr. George Thomas

No. The exhibits were designed as a whole to fit into a pavilion specially built to house them. They could not have the same impact in any other setting. Many of them are on loan and must be returned to their owners at the end of the exhibition. In any case, all the electrical and mechanical equipment was designed for North American electrical circuits and the cost of adapting it for use here, added to the cost of restaging the displays in this country, would be prohibitive.
