HC Deb 12 March 1986 vol 93 cc489-90W
30. Mr. Wood

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what progress is being made in the liberalisation of international trade in services.

Mr. Howard

Work is proceeding in GATT to set up a new round of multilateral trade negotiations. It is essential that trade in services, among other relevant topics, should be included in the round, and we are working to that end. I hope also for progress towards the completion of the European Community's internal market in services as well as in goods.
