Mr. Hunter

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what assistance his Department is giving to British firms wishing to exhibit at the Bucharest international fair on 17 to 20 October.

Mr. Alan Clark

My Department's Eastern European market branch is ready to offer whatever information and advice it can to those companies exhibiting at the Bucharest international fair, and in Bucharest, the commercial staff at the embassy stand ready to assist British companies in any way they can.

Mr. Hunter

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he or the Secretary of State has any plans to visit the Bucharest international fair on 17 to 20 October; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alan Clark

My right hon. and learned Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State have no plans to visit the Bucharest international fair in October.

I myself had to postpone a visit to Romania this April but hope to reinstate it next year.
