HC Deb 21 July 1982 vol 28 c154W
Mr. John Fraser

asked the Minister for Trade whether he will make a further statement about his attempts to have the Community trade marks office established in London.

Dr. Vaughan

It was announced in the House on 18 January that the Department of Trade had produced a brochure in collaboration with the Greater London Council underlining the advantages of London as the seat for the Community Trade Marks Office.

Since then the brochure has been widely distributed in diplomatic and commercial circles throughout the Community and this activity is continuing.

Every opportunity will continue to be taken of impressing on our Community partners the outstanding qualifications which London possesses for this particular Office.
