§ Mr. Eldon Griffithsasked the Secretary of State for Trade what steps he has taken to monitor any losses of orders and any fall-off in inquiries for British goods and services from Saudi Arabia that are known or suspected to be the result of Saudi reaction to the television programme "Death of a Princess"; and if, at some suitable occasion when evidence on this subject is to hand, he will publish in the Official Report the best evidence and judgment available.
§ Mr. ParkinsonWe are keeping a close watch on the situation, but it is rarely possible to obtain firm evidence as to the reasons why orders have not been placed with British suppliers.
