asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if Her Majesty's Government were represented at the FIDA '84 international air show in Santiago, Chile, in March 1984.

In response to a request from the Society of British Aerospace Companies, we helped sponsor through the British Overseas Trade Board's joint venture scheme, 12 British firms which participated in the Santiago international air show (FIDA) in March 1984. As part of thier normal commercial duties in support of British exports, Her Majesty's ambassador Santiago and members of his staff visited the air show and toured the British stands.
