HC Deb 21 February 1983 vol 37 cc306-7W
23. Mr. Dykes

asked the Minister for Trade what steps he is taking to encourage United Kingdom exporters and re-exporters to expand sales to other European Community countries in 1983.

Mr. Peter Rees

I am continuing, though the British Overseas Trade Board and its European trade committee and through the commercial departments of our embassies, to help and encourage United Kingdom industry to expand its share of its largest export market. Furthermore, my right hon. and noble Friend and I hope to visit most Community countries in the course of 1983 with the promotion of British exports being our prime objective.
