§ Mr. Luardasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in order to give further encouragement to exporters, he will consider removing the restriction which limits the number of times a firm may participate in any overseas trade fair under the Board of Trade's Joint Venture Scheme.
§ Mr. CroslandThe Joint Venture Scheme has proved very successful and is being increasingly used by exporters to demonstrate and sell their goods in the market places of the world. I have therefore decided to abolish immediately the present limitation on the number of times an individual firm may participate in a joint venture at any Overseas Trade Fair.
