38. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what consultation he is having with the engineering industry with a view to increasing the production of processing machinery of the varieties in demand from OPEC countries.

My Department is in constant touch with the engineering industry in general about the balance of supply and demand. Joint consultations between Government and both sides of the process plant industry in particular are also undertaken in the Process Plant Working Party of NEDO and in the NEDC itself.
