HC Deb 15 February 1972 vol 831 c80W
71. Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what offers have been made by his Department to Rubery Owen, Darlaston to assist that company in obtaining overseas orders in view of the need to maintain the productive efficiency of this plant.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Rubery Owen, as a wide-ranging subscriber to the Export Intelligence Service, has daily access to all the export opportunities and other intelligence circulated through it. It has been offered, through the European Components Service which is now part of the Department, the opportunity of bidding for several specific export orders. In addition it has taken advantage of other export services made available to it by the Department.
