§ Mr. HarrisTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement about relations with Tunisia.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggThey remain good. I made a successful visit to Tunisia on 2–3 December. On 17 December British Gas signed a $600 million contract to develop an offshore gas field. This is the largest ever British investment in Tunisia. It marks a breakthrough for the British private sector and will, I hope, generate further export opportunities.
