§ Mr. WoodwardTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions how many(a) regional development agencies and (b) regional chambers have offices in Brussels. [91516]
§ Mr. Meale[holding answer 15 July 1999]: Decisions on the establishment of offices in Brussels are a matter for the Regional Development Agencies and regional chambers themselves. I understand that no Agencies or regional chambers have dedicated offices in Brussels. However, two Agencies and two regional chambers share or have access to an office there.
