§ Mr. BoothTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what initiatives she is taking to stimulate food exports.
§ Mr. Jack[holding answer 8 July 1993]: Ministers have held export seminars with some 140 companies to discuss what the Government can do to encourage their export performance. We are committed to supporting Food From Britain in its export promotion activities and are considering the report by Mr. Dennis Stevenson into FFB's work. In addition, we work closely with Government Departments in their efforts to improve industry's export performance; we undertake ministerial trade missions; and we support British efforts at overseas trade fairs.
