§ Mr. Ben ChapmanTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what steps the Government are taking to help British industry boost its exports to China. [50730]
§ Mrs. RocheFollowing the designation of China as a priority market under the DTI's Export Initiative, an independent review was carried out of China trade promotion. I am placing a copy of the review in the Library of the House. The review's recommendations about strengthening the support provided to business by the DTI and the China Britain Trade Group are being considered. We intend, over the next few months, to upgrade significantly the quality of support and advice provided to ensure that British companies are in the strongest possible position to tackle this important and challenging market.
