HC Deb 05 July 1976 vol 914 cc362-9W
Mr. Brocklebank-Fowler

asked the Secretary of State for Trade (1) how many British companies are taking part in Export Year; and if he will list them in the Official Report;

(2) what proportion of the cost of Export Year is being met from public funds; and what is the size of that contribution;

(3) how many of the companies taking part in Export Year are new exporters.

Mr. Meacher

By midday on 28th June 384 firms had notified their intention of running Export Years. Further notifications are being received daily. The list as it stood on 28th June is published below.

Export Year is focussed on individual firms. It is not meant to be expensive either for them or for Her Majesty's Government but the larger share will fall on participating firms. Almost the whole of the public sector staff employed are being found from within the existing complement of the British Overseas Trade Board Divisions. Non-staff expenditure will be kept within existing budgets. Up to 28th June the British Overseas Trade Board had committed £28,846 in respect of such expenditure.

As the concept of the year is addressed to established exporters and newcomers alike we have not sought to distinguish the newcomers and the figure requested is therefore not available.

The following is the list:

  • Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society—Perth Scotland
  • Abbey Horn Works—Kendal Cumbria
