HC Deb 01 May 1995 vol 259 c43W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if it is the Government's objective to promote export-led growth by raising the rate of return for manufacturing above the rate of other non-North sea industrial and commercial companies. [21589]

Mr. Nelson

The key to maintaining good export performance is for the Government to deliver permanently low inflation and companies to keep costs under control, thereby ensuring that British industry remains competitive.
