HC Deb 27 October 1995 vol 264 c833W
Sir Thomas Arnold

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will give details of export promotion services in the north-west. [39607]

Mr. Jonathan Evans

All companies in the north-west have access to the full range of Government export promotion services. This support includes:

  • access to national network of export development and export promoters with specific country experience;
  • generic and specific export market intelligence;
  • identify potential overseas business partners;
  • on-the ground help in overseas markets;
  • award schemes to encourage good export practice.

Complementary services are available through local chambers of commerce and other private sector organisations. Export services are increasingly accessible through business links as the network expands throughout the region.
