The report refers to the committee's memorandum to the Board of Trade Committee to deal with the relationship of art to industry. The Department of Overseas Trade has also been asked to include a section on quality at the British Industries Fair and to participate in a design exhibit at the Textile Exhibition at White City. A Government Exhibition organisation is badly needed, the report states. The report touches on future policy, finances, and membership. Speakers for forthcoming events include Clough Williams-Ellis, Lord Gorell, Sir Hilton Young, J.C. Rogers, Gordon Forsyth, Arthur Cohen, C.A. Richter, and Gordon Russell. The report also includes the committee's financial statement and an outline for four issues of the Design and Industries Association's magazine.
