HC Deb 25 February 1987 vol 111 c284W
29. Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he has any evidence on the benefits for the United Kingdom economy of Her Majesty's Government's aid for large overseas contracts won by British companies.

Mr. Alan Clark

My Department and bodies such as NEDO — as well as private companies — have commisioned reports on the economic benefits of aid and trade provision supported projects.
