There has been an approach made to the Government through the Board of Trade with a view (the statement to the "Evening Standard" continued) to the leasing of Earl's Court for a do- finite period in each year for the holding of the British Industries Fair..
The Government authorities are wholly favourable towards concentrating the Industries Fair at Earl's Court an account of its. great accessibility and other ad- vantages.
It is not intended that the Government shall spend money on the erection of buildings; but Treasury would guarantee pay- ments for any lease of the build- inge, short or long.
A Permanent Home, The lease of Wembley for the British Industries Fair runs for 1929 and 1980. In 1931 a new home must be found, as the Fair has developed so greatly, beth-in usefulness and popularity, that, within a few years it is hoped It will be the biggest trado exhibi- tion in the world.
It is hoped that there will be other lessees of the new exhibi- tion buildings. Consequently, other negotiations than those with the Government are pro- ceeding.
"What is aimed at is the erec- tion of splendid exhibition build- ings--a permanent home for, the British Industries Fair; and a site and equipment which will accomplish a series of other ex- hibitions of value to British trade and commerce, with; of course, the amusement side well developed.
