64. Mr. McAllion

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what steps he has taken to ensure that industry in(a) the North East of Scotland and (b) the other regions of the United Kingdom is ready to benefit from the single European market.

Mr. Maude

The completion of the single market by the end of 1992 will affect all regions, directly or indirectly. The central message of our "Europe Open for Business" campaign is therefore to encourage all firms, wherever they are located, to take action now to ensure that they benefit from the opportunities the single market will bring.
