British Business (Emerging Markets)

HC Deb 29 October 1998 vol 318 c275W

Mrs. Gillan

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the 20 principal emerging markets for British business. [57285]

Mr. Fatchett

Decisions on emerging markets for individual companies will be the responsibility of individual companies. In 1997, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Department for Trade and Industry published the report of the Export Forum, which set out criteria for selecting priority markets for the work of the DTI, and UK Posts overseas.
