HC Deb 07 December 1992 vol 215 c497W
Ms. Walley

To ask the President of the Board of Trade when the Minister for Energy in his Department last met with his Japanese counterpart in Japan; and what specific matters were discussed and decided.

Mr. Eggar

I visited Japan from 11 to 13 November 1992 and met members of the Government and heads of Japanese energy utilities. Discussions focused on the bilateral energy relationship in offshore oil and gas, nuclear and energy policy areas. I also lent my support to British companies at an Offshore Supplies Office technology seminar where I gave the keynote address.
