§ Mr. SheermanTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what steps he is taking to encourage British manufacturers to export goods and services to Indonesia.
§ Mr. NeedhamIndonesia is one of my Department's priority markets. Last year, we effectively doubled the number of staff working on promoting trade to Indonesia and engaged a secondee from industry specifically for that purpose. In 1993, I led three business delegations to Indonesia and the DTI financially supported a further 150 British business visitors: it is likely that a similar number will receive support this year.
