§ Mr. JenkinTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what measures he intends to introduce to strengthen the United Kingdom's engineering industry.
§ Mr. Sainsbury[holding answer 24 November 1992]: I refer the hon. member to the reply that my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of trade gave the hon. Member for Rugby and Kenilworth (Mr. Pawsey), on 16 November 1992, Official Report, columns 71–72, which described Government action to help manufacturing. Engineering represents a very large proportion of our manufacturing GDP and I hope it will benefit in full measure from the policies my right hon. Friend set out in that reply.
