asked the President of the Board of Trade how many British trade fairs or British trade weeks have been held so far in the United States of America in 1965; and how many are planned for 1966.

British industries have taken part in eight trade fairs in the U.S.A. during 1965, and twenty-eight department store promotions of British goods have been supported by the Board of Trade. The numbers of both types of events next year are expected to be about the same.
