HC Deb 09 February 1981 vol 998 c250W
Mr. Dormand

asked the Prime Minister if she will arrange for the Secretary of State for Wales to make a full report of his visit to Japan later this month.

The Prime Minister

The purpose of this visit is to encourage inward investment. A similar visit was made to the United States in September 1980. My right hon. Friend will of course answer questions in the normal way.

Mr. Dormand

asked the Prime Minister why the Secretary of State for Wales has been included in the delegation to visit Japan later this month.

The Prime Minister

My right hon. Friend's visit is the latest in a continuing series of investment promotion missions led by various United Kingdom Ministers.
