HC Deb 11 December 1985 vol 88 cc625-6W
Mr. Ashdown

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many of his staff are directly assisting computer and electronics exporters from the United Kingdom; and what direct funding he is making to such programmes.

Mr. Howard

Staff in my Department engaged in running BOTB export services deal with companies from all industries and details are not available to illustrate how total staff effort, or total export promotion expenditure, breaks down by sector.
