§ 15. Mr. Errollasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the approximate cost of the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation Bulletin, "Machinery and Equipment. Export Availabilities and Delivery Periods"; the purpose of this publication; and the method of compiling the information relating to United Kingdom export availabilities.
§ Mr. NuttingThe approximate cost to the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation of producing this publication is £600, of which the United Kingdom share is about £100. About half the total cost will probably be recouped from sales to the public.
The purpose of this publication is to provide potential buyers with an approximate guide to export availabilities and delivery periods for machinery and industrial equipment produced in Western European countries.
The information relating to exports available in the United Kingdom is compiled in the Ministry of Supply on the basis of data obtained from individual firms and from trade associations, and is supplied to the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation by Her Majesty's Government.
