HC Deb 12 April 1988 vol 131 c19W
Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what advice his Department is giving to export industries regarding the level of sterling.

Mr. Atkins

As with other market conditions, the Department can provide factual information but industry must form its own view of future developments. The Department also offers industry a range of practical assistance through the enterprise initiatives to help improve performance in both home and overseas markets.
