Answer: Matthew Taylor: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will place in the Library a copy of the standard contract letter which is drawn up between Trade Partners UK and secondees from private companies before they start their secondment. [78150] Ms Hewitt: Trade Partners UK is the Trade and Development arm of British Trade International--the joint DTI/FCO Trade Development and Inward Investments body. Depending on the nature of the secondment the contracts can be with either DTI or FCO. I have today arranged for the standard contract letter between the DTI and the secondee, and the standard contract between the Department and the company to be placed in the Library of the House. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs has arranged for standard contract letters with the FCO also to be placed in the Library.
