HC Deb 17 March 1993 vol 221 c306W
21. Mr. Page

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what steps he is taking to spread the information gathered by the industrial competitiveness division through the sectors of industry.

Mr. Heseltine

The industrial competitiveness division advises me on ways in which Government policies generally can promote the competitiveness of British industry.

The DTI's regional offices, sector divisions, and—once they are established—the one-stop shops, have a vital role in communicating these policies to industry, and in listening to industry's views.
