HC Deb 10 November 1999 vol 337 c632W
Mr. Ottaway

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps he will be taking to promote the work of the Commonwealth Partnership for Technology at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Durban on 9 to 11 November. [97245]

Mr. Byers

The Commonwealth Partnership for Technology Management's Report "CPTM into the New Millennium" is on the Agenda of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Durban from 12-15 November. The Department of Trade and Industry has promoted the useful work which the CPTM has undertaken since its inception in 1995. I endorse the call made by the Commonwealth Secretary General to Governments to support the continuation of its activities.
