Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what grants were made from public funds towards travel and costs of exhibition stands at Dubai '91 and the international defence equipment and aviation exhibition in Ankara, November 1991.

Mr. Sainsbury

To date no financial subsidy has been provided by the Department of Trade and Industry to exhibitors at Dubai '91 and the international defence equipment and aviation exhibition, Ankara. The subsidy for companies which qualify for support will be at the standard rate of 50 per cent. of the eligible costs of space and stand construction and up to two travel grants at the appropriate country rates for Dubai and Turkey.
