HC Deb 14 December 1994 vol 251 c702W
21. Mr. Jenkin

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress is being made by his Department with the "North America Now" campaign to boost British trade and investment with North America.

Mr. Baldry

Since its launch in March 1993, the "North America Now" campaign has produced a full programme of activities in north America and in the United Kingdom, which are helping British business to reinforce and improve its competitiveness in the world's wealthiest trading bloc.

The value of the United Kingdom's exports to north America in 1993 was 24.5 per cent. higher than in 1992.
