HC Deb 23 July 1969 vol 787 cc379-80W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider seeking to establish in certain cities abroad British trading centres, details of proposals for which have been sent him.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

As my hon. Friend is aware, his proposals have been referred for consideration to the British National Export Council. The advice which we have received from these experienced business men is that in the retail field we should direct our promotional activities along established trade channels.
