HC Deb 30 October 1992 vol 212 c947W
Mr. Cousins

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what steps he is taking to ensure a level playing field across the Community in the national markets for information technology.

Mr. Leigh

My Department takes every opportunity to encourage the achievement of a level playing field in IT markets in Europe and participated fully in discussions leading to the European Community Council resolution on electronics, information and communication technologies in November 1991. We also fully support the European Community Commission in its application of the Community's competition and state aids policies.
