HC Deb 16 April 1993 vol 222 cc759-60W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the President of the Board of Trade, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Waveney (Mr. Porter) of 31 March,Official Report, column 212, if he will make a statement on the relationship between his Department's export control office and his export intelligence system under the contract extension for Prelink Ltd.

Mr. Needham

The export intelligence system contracted to Pre-Link publishes information about overseas sales opportunities. It does not remove the requirement, where that exists, for a seller to obtain an export licence.
