HC Deb 15 July 1969 vol 787 cc67-8W
44. Mr. Milne

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will set up a committee of inquiry into the possibilities and economic advantages of siting a permanent exhibition centre in Great Britain.

Mr. Crosland

I wholly accept the urgent need for a National Exhibition Centre. My concern is to see the project become a reality at the earliest possible date, and I do not think that a committee would help with this.
