HC Deb 21 May 1963 vol 678 cc20-1W
Mr. Wolrige-Gordon

asked the President of the Board of Trade the facilities provided by his Department for assisting exports on behalf of small firms unable to provide a comprehensive network of agents of their own in foreign countries.

Mr. Green

240 posts in 123 different countries are at the disposal of every British firm, whether small or larae. Any small firm with an export problem should consult the nearest regional office of the Board of Trade. Small firms should not overlook the services which export houses can offer them.

Mr. Wolrige-Gordon

asked the President of the Board of Trade the list of publications produced by his Department aimed at informing small exporting firms in this country of potential markets in other countries for their products.

Mr. Green

TheExport Service Bulletin, published three times a week, and the Board of Trade Journal which appears weekly, contain details of specific export opportunities, as well as market and economic reports on many individual countries and products.
