HC Deb 04 July 1984 vol 63 cc148-9W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which United Kingdom companies have won overseas contracts with the help of aid and trade provision in each of the past five years; and what was the total financial help received by each company under the aid and trade provision in that period.

Mr. Raison

The following list shows those United Kingdom companies which have won contracts with the support of ATP funding. The list shows only the lead British firm and does not refer to the many other firms which provide subcontracting services for large projects supported by ATP. United Kingdom financial aid is provided to the recipient country Government not to the United Kingdom company. The dates shown are those years in which an ATP aid agreement was signed with the recipient Government. The contract is usually signed al or about the same time. The list excludes technical cooperation arrangements since 1983 when the use of ATP funds for modest technical co-operation activities was agreed, in respect of which the contract is normally between ODA and the United Kingdom firms.
