23. Mr. Hayhoe

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps Her Majesty's Government is taking to encourage British industry to meet the challenge of British membership of the European Economic Community, in view of the opportunities that will flow from such membership.

Mr. John Davies

The full range of export services provided by the Department is at the disposal of the growing number of British firms interested in European markets. My colleagues and I also take every occasion to draw the attention of British industry to the opportunities which our entry would present and will continue to do so.
