Philippines (Counter-trade Agreements)

HC Deb 11 March 1994 vol 239 c452W

Mr. Tom Clarke

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what counter-trade agreements with the Philippines his Department has been involved in since 1986; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Needham

My Department has not been involved in any counter-trade agreements with the Philippines. That would be a commercial matter for the exporter.
