asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will arrange for special studies to be made of the export markets for British civil aircraft in Nigeria, Indonesia, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Iran, Kuwait, and Qatar, in the light of the inreased oil revenues of these countries.

Regular market reports on civil aircraft sales opportunities are received from the commercial sections of our overseas posts covering these and other countries. These are passed on to the appropriate aircraft companies to complement their own market research activities.
