§ Mr. FatchettTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list(a) the number and (b) the location of staff in his Department employed to promote British trade overseas. [3026]
§ Mr. Hanley[holding answer 4 December 1995]: The location and the number of staff whose responsibilities lie primarily in promoting trade with the United Kingdom are listed in the table.
There are in addition a large number of staff who contribute a lower proportion of their time directly to export promotion. For example, all heads of mission are an important part of the trade promotion effort. Staff engaged in political, economic and information also make a significant contribution to export and inward investment effort.
