HC Deb 06 May 1986 vol 97 c31W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry in view of the decision of the governor of Washington State to cancel a trade mission to the United Kingdom because of the alleged risks to visitors to Britain from terrorism, whether he is taking any steps to safeguard and promote United Kingdom/United States trade relations.

Mr. Alan Clark

My Department actively promotes British trade with the United States, and will continue to do so despite the regrettable concellation of this visit.
