HC Deb 04 December 1985 vol 88 c250W
Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many British companies are known to his Department to be currently operating in South Africa.

Mr. Howard

My Department does not keep records of the companies operating in particular markets. However, under the EC code of conduct for companies with interests in South Africa, 171 United Kingdom companies submitted reports to my Department for the year ended 30 June 1984.
