A speech by The Rt. Hon. Oliver Stanley , M.P.,
President of the Board of Trade, following the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce Banquet on the occasion of the opening of the Engineering and Hardware Section of the British Industries Fair at Castle
Bromwich from the Grand Hotel, Birmingham
To give an indication of the size of the exhibition at Castle Bromwich, it has been calculated that no fewer than 240 full-size tennis courts could be laid inside the buildings. A new feature this year will be the indoor and outdoor A.R.P. section, including actual trenches.
On March 1, His Majesty the King is to visit Castle Bromwich, two days before the closing date.
