HC Deb 14 June 1995 vol 261 c575W
33. Mr. Fabricant

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what plans he has to expand bilateral trade with members of the north American free trade area; and if he will make a statement. [26840]

Mr. Ian Taylor

The United Kingdom Government maintain a vigorous trade promotion programme with respect to members of NAFTA. With the European Commission and the US Administration and others we are looking at various ways of further liberalising trade both across the north Atlantic and more generally to act as pathfinders within the World Trade Organisation.
