HC Deb 18 March 1981 vol 1 c96W
Mr. Heddle

asked the Secretary of State for Trade when the export intelligence branch, Department of Trade, Export House, 50 Ludgate Hill, London EC4M 7HU, will reply to the letter dated 3 February from Tamworth Industrial Fabrics Ltd., Tame Valley Industrial Estate, Watling Street, Wilnecote, Tamworth, Staffs., B77 5DQ, about urgent export inquiries; and if he will make a statement on the reasons for this delay.

Mr. Parkinson

The letter of 3 February from Tamworth Industrial Fabrics Ltd. requesting copies of export intelligence service notices was received by the responsible officials in the Department on 9 February. Copies of the notices were despatched that day. A further letter dated 2 March from 'Tamworth Industrial Fabrics Ltd., and received on 5 March, made it clear that the copy notices had not been received. Further copies were therefore despatched on 5 March by first-class mail, and it has been confirmed that these were received.
