§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what information he has received from the European Chemical Industry Council, CEFIC, on its programme, Sustech-1; and what support is being given by the European Commission's industry directorate and research directorate to the Sustech programme.
§ Mr. SainsburyWe have had no contact with CEFIC or the European Commission on the Sustech proposal, although officials have been appraised of the proposal by one company closely involved in it. I understand that development of the proposal is still at an early stage.
