Ann Clwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what advice his Department gives to prospective exporters about the human rights record of the receiving country; and whether this advice is given only in response to a specific request. [85830]

Mr. Wilson

British Trade International, the joint DTI/FC0 operation for international trade promotion, provides advice in response to specific requests, except in the case of Burma where it is provided routinely.
