§ Mr. Gryllsasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many small companies have received support from the overseas projects fund in each year since 1979.
§ Mr. Fletcher[pursuant to the reply, 8 March 1985]: Statistics of the kind sought are not readily available. But many small companies and firms do receive support from the overseas projects fund both directly, and as subcontractors and suppliers to large companies which win business for which they received assistance from the fund.
