Mr. John Evans

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what British firms have offered or guaranteed sponsorship of the British pavilion at Expo 92 in Seville; how much money has been offered or guaranteed in each case; and whether any non-United Kingdom European Community companies have made similar offers or guarantees of sponsorship.

Mr. Sainsbury

[holding answer 26 November 1990]: The table lists the British firms that have offered or guaranteed sponsorship of the British pavilion at Expo 92 and the value of each company's contribution, where we have permission to disclose it.
