HC Deb 15 January 1986 vol 89 c587W
29. Mr. Watts

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what discussions he has had with the Association of British Chambers of Commerce about the establishment of industry data bases as an aid to the promotion of export trade.

Mr. Channon

There have been a number of discussions between the ABCC and my officials. The British Overseas Trade Board is represented on an ABCC working group co-ordinating the development by individual chambers of commerce of computerised membership data bases. It is expected that these will lead to the movement being able to supply national listings.
