§ Mr. Michael Lathamasked the Secretary of State for Trade what specific action has been taken, or recommendations made, regarding construction exports by the Overseas Projects Board of the British Overseas Trade Board since the Secretary of State for the Environment announced on 14th February that the Construction Exports Advisory Board had been disbanded; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. DellSince the Overseas Projects Board assumed, in part, the responsibilities of the Construction Exports Advisory Board, it has considered a number of issues affecting the project industry as a whole. It has not so far considered, or made recommendations on, any matters relating specifically to construction exports but is ready to do so if the need arises.
