HC Deb 11 February 1987 vol 110 c214W
Mr. Nicholls

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what has been the effect of the United Kingdom's presidency of the Council on trade relations with Spain and its territories.

Mr. Alan Clark

While the United Kingdom presidency did not in itself affect our excellent bilateral trade relations with Spain, I am pleased to say that these were fully maintained in 1986. United Kingdom exports to Spain increased to record levels last year, totalling £1,905 million.
