I have been asked to reply to this question. I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Newcastle, North (Sir N. Grattan-Doyle) on 14th November, in which it was explained that the advertisement of United Kingdom goods in the Dominions falls outside the purposes for which the present Empire Marketing Fund was provided. The question of enlarging that fund for the purpose contemplated by the hon. Member raises a matter of general policy which my right hon. Friend is not in a position to answer.
