Mr. Eddie Griffithsasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he is aware that the City of Sheffield is the only city within the United Kingdom to participate in the forthcoming International Trade Fair in Sweden; and what 378W assistance his Department is giving to its efforts.
§ Mr. NobleI am aware of the promotion organised by the City of Sheffield at the Swedish Trade Fair at Gothenburg. I applaud its initiative and wish the city and the firms taking part every success in this venture. There has been full consultation and close collaboration throughout between the organisers and the Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Office of the Department of Trade and Industry, together with the Commercial Department of the Consulate General in Gothenburg. The services of my Department have been made fully available to the participants.
