HC Deb 31 January 1992 vol 202 c725W
Mr. Cousins

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list the companies which have received the Queen's award for export since 1979, with the date of the award; and which of these companies are still in business(a) under the same name or (b) under a different name.

Mr. Sainsbury

Since 1979, a total of 1,336 Queen's awards for export achievement have been granted to industrial units within the United Kingdom. The awards are announced annually on the Queen's birthday, 21 April. The winners are listed in a supplement to theLondon Gazette on 21 April each year. No record is kept of award winners which are still in business, or of those which have changed their name. The information requested could not therefore be provided except at disproportionate cost.
