Communication Supplies Ltd. And Export Orders To Kenya

EDM number 209 in 1991-92, proposed by Anthony Grant on 19/11/1991.

That this House calls upon the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry and the Minister of State for Overseas Development to grant Aid Trade Provision Cover and ECGD cover over three years from 1992 to enable Communication Supplies Ltd to continue to export further System X telephone exchanges and ancillary equipment to Kenya, which they have done successfully for the past seven years; and furthermore notes that the Kenyan Government considers this project as top of their list of priorities for trade with the United Kingdom, that the project will save and provide many thousands of jobs throughout the United Kingdom and will lead to repeat business for many years to come; and that if funding is not forthcoming the contract will be lost to the United Kingdom and awarded to either Japanese, French or Italian companies, all of whom have shown open interest.

This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs.
