§ Mr. Proctorasked the Minister for Trade if he will make a statement on his visit to Chile and on future prospects for trade between the United Kingdom and Chile.
§ M. Peter Rees[pursuant to the reply,22 October 1982]: The purpose of my visit to Chile and other countries in South America was to renew trade links and more generally to reinforce our continuing interest in the development of our relations with the region. I was accompanied by a team of experienced businessmen.
I believe there are long-term prospects for increasing our exports to Chile in the energy, transportation and mining sectors.
