111. Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what assistance his Department gives to Britain's mining engineering industry in its efforts to improve its export performance.

Mr. Redwood

The DTI's projects and export policy division provides particular support for British companies bidding for major overseas projects.
