31. Mr. Woof

asked the Postmaster General what steps he is taking, within his procurement policy, to assist the export of telecommunications equipment produced by United Kingdom firms.

Mr. Stonehouse

We aim to help the export of telecommunications equipment by (1) examining and trying out in public service and certifying equipment which might be exportable (2) taking export considerations into account when preparing specifications for equipment to be used at home (3) providing consultancy services or loaning experts to other administrations; and (4) training large numbers of staff from other countries in British methods and equipment.
