HC Deb 15 November 1976 vol 919 cc390-1W
33. Mr. Joseph Dean

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what measures are being taken to secure a bigger percentage share for the United Kingdom of the export market opportunities, which now present themselves in South America, particularly in Venezuela.

Mr. Meacher

My Department actively promotes trade with promising markets of South America. In particular, trade matters will be prominent in our discussions with the President of Venezuela next week; and the British Overseas Trade Board is sponsoring a British industrial exhibition in Caracas next March.
