HC Deb 25 October 1971 vol 823 c232W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will change the official writing paper of the Minister for Aerospace so that the sole form of transportation depicted thereon is no longer a three-masted sailing ship.

Mr. Corfield

No. The crest is copied from my right hon. Friend's seal of office as Secretary of State for Trade and Industry and President of the Board of Trade, which is derived from the Board of Trade seal dating from 1786. It is identified with the Department at large rather than with any special part of it.
