HC Deb 27 February 1985 vol 74 c195W
68. Mr. Phillip Oppenheim

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he is satisfied that orders to supply French schools with computers will be open to competition from British manufacturers.

Mr. Pattie

One British manufacturer is among those invited by the French authorities to put forward proposals for the supply of microcomputers to French schools. But it is not clear whether the project will be open to other British manufacturers. I am seeking clarification of the position from the French authorities.
