HC Deb 13 July 1988 vol 137 c270W
60. Mr. Dykes

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what results his Department's Europe open for business campaign has achieved to date.

Mr. Maude

Since our campaign was launched in March, there has been a major increase in awareness of the single market.

Over 100,000 inquiries for further information have been received, most via our 1992 telephone hotline, and business awareness of the 1992 target date is now about 80 per cent.

The next step is to ensure that firms take action to seize the single market opportunities.
