HC Deb 12 March 1986 vol 93 c487W
10. Mr. Carttiss

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what detailed steps he takes to ensure that the British Overseas Trade Board's services are of particular relevance to smaller exporting businesses.

Mr. Alan Clark

Membership of the British Overseas Trade Board includes two successful small exporters who take a specific interest in the needs of smaller exporters. Many of the board's services are designed to be of particular relevance to smaller firms and about 75 per cent. of those making use of services provided by the board are small firms.
