British Agricultural Export Council

HC Deb 28 May 1970 vol 801 cc583-4W

Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a separate grant in aid to the British Agricultural Export Council for assisting Wales.

Mr. George Thomas:

No. Financial support is already provided through the Board of Trade. The British Agricultural Export Council is a national body which serves the needs of all areas, including Wales.

Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make it a condition of continuing grant in aid that there should be a representative of Wales on the British Agricultural Export Council.

Mr. Mason:

I have been asked to reply.

No.
