British newspapers, either directly or in Brussels in their own press,
and that a large part of our press delights in crying stinking fish
about our own performance?

Chairman
One of the favourite complaints, of course, is that if you buy
British, you do not get a back-up of spare parts or subsequent
service. Do you find that still prevails?
188.
(Mr Checketts) Less and less.
Is your organisation itself doing anything to try to break
down all these old prejudices and sayings that people abroad have about
us?
SEALAG?
(Mr Checketts) When you say my own organisation, do you mean
189.
Yes, I mean SEATAG.
(Mr Checketts
Yes, one of our main duties is to get this
message across. We have SEATAG members travelling regularly in the arca.
This is one of the duties of a SEATAG member, to wear his UK hat, and not
only his company hat, to present and deliver this message in as many
places as he can.
190.
Is there any leaflet campaign or radio campaign of any kind?
(Mr Checketts) No, we have not made a leaflet.
195.
Would it be any good?
Mr Checketts
I am trying to think what we have specially
done.
Mr MoNally

The Chairman means does the world service of the BBC put out a
good and strong message in this case?
