§ Mr. Skeetasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement on the conditions for exporters to the Japanese market in respect of British products, plant and equipment, and on the steps being taken to assist them.
§ Mr. John DaviesDespite the complex structure of the Japanese market which does not make it an easy one for an exporter to enter I am very anxious that we should increase our sales there so as to take full advantage of the purchasing potential of a population of 100 million. This will be an important objective of my discussions with Japanese Ministers when I visit Japan at the end of this month.
