Oral answer to question provided on Tuesday, 5 June 2007 in the House of Commons, by Geoffrey Hoon (Labour), Foreign and Commonwealth Office.


UK/Brazil Economic and Trade Committee

Answer

I have indicated one measure—the level of economic activity by British companies in Brazil, which has increased over the past 12 months. We want to put in place arrangements that will allow continuing exports while equally ensuring that there is a two-way exchange of ideas, information, science, knowledge and understanding, which is something the Jetco initiative will foster.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Tuesday, 5 June 2007 by Nick Hurd (Conservative).

Question
Brazil is an enormously important strategic partner for the UK in the battle against climate change, as my hon. Friend the Member for Scarborough and Whitby (Mr. Goodwill) pointed out. May I press the Minister to be more specific about how we should measure the success of the Jetco initiative and when we should expect it to bear fruit?
