Dr. ThomasTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement on United Kingdom trade with Albania.
§ Mr. RedwoodOver the last three years United Kingdom trade with Albania has totalled between £2.5 million and £4 million a year. My Department gives advice to British companies interested in the market, but the assistance we can give is limited by the absence of diplomatic relations and the scarcity of market information. The London chamber of commerce organised a trade mission to Albania in 1988 and hopes to develop closer links with the Albanian chamber.
