HC Deb 13 March 1989 vol 149 cc98-9W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what are the major joint industrial projects now being developed between the United Kingdom and other member states of the European Economic Community.

Mr. Atkins

We keep no central record of such projects. However, the indications are that there is increasing collaboration between United Kingdom companies and those in other member states as evinced by such projects as the Channel tunnel and the Airbus and the by the United Kingdom participating in the EC R and D framework programme.
