HC Deb 31 October 1984 vol 65 c1008W
Mr. Batiste

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether Her Majesty's Government will support the initiative by Commissioner Davignon of the European Commission (a) to establish a comprehensive inventory of all measures taken or under consideration by the United States Government to restrict the transfer of technology and the dissemination of scientific information and (b) to assess their actual impact; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Channon

The United Kingdom, along with the other member states, will be considering Vice-President Davignon's initiative on technology transfer over the coming weeks. Meanwhile, we are preparing our response to the Commission's request for information on US measures in this field.
