A further result has been the preparation of a joint Press Release relating to the Labelling of Food Bill 1965. 8. Cosmetic Industry Exhibition The Society has sponsored two technical exhibitions of suppliers to the cosmetic and allied industries. The first was held in Brighton, Sussex, during April 1964 and the second in Harrogate, Yorks., from 30th March to 1st April 1965.

Support for the second exhibition was less than for the first one, and although this could be due to the fact that provincial exhibitions do not command the customary support, the whole project is currently under review. õ.
