HC Deb 12 December 1975 vol 902 cc395-6W
Mr. Orbach

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on his efforts during his recent visit to Saudi Arabia to increase the commercial links between the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia.

Mr. Ennals

My right hon. Friend had broad discussions with the Saudi Arabian authorities about the British desire to participate fully in the current five-year development plan, mainly through the Memorandum of Understanding signed in October. He also had discussions on several specific projects. In this he was helped by those business men who accompanied him.
