HC Deb 18 June 1984 vol 62 cc19-20W
Mr. Tom Cox

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1) what facilities are made available by his Department to organisations who seek to trade in the occupied area of northern Cyprus;

(2) what advice is given by his Department to those organisations who are seeking to invest in the occupied area of northern Cyprus;

(3) what is the number of business men from the occupied area of northern Cyprus who have met officials of his Department during the last three years; and if he will list the aspects of trade that were discussed.

Mr. Channon

Potential traders and investors enjoy the same access to advice from the Department of Trade and Industry in respect of northern Cyprus as for other overseas markets. Advice given reflects the complicated political circumstances existing in Cyprus. No details of business men from northern Cyprus meeting officials of the Department are available.
