To ask the President of the Board of Trade in what capacity his officials attended the inaugural reception for Pemed UK on 14 October 1993. [33300]

Mr. Lang

Among the principal guests at a reception organised by Pemed on 14 October 1993 was a delegation of business men from the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia led by its Ministers for industry. This was the first major industrial delegation from that country to visit the UK. The official responsible for trade promotion with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia attended the reception in that capacity.
