more important it helped to show Hong Kong that we still do produce, and can deliver a great range of machines that is very relevant to Hong Kong's requirement and at prices that are increasingly competitive.
It and the Trade Missionshave also helped bring home to British exporters the pace at which Hong Kong is developing and the need to keep in close touch with it both before and after sales. Whatever the faults on this score may have been in the past I am confident that the performance will be improved in the future; certainly the official trade promotion machine will be doing
its utmost to ensure that it is.
Another illustration of the importance we attach to the Hong Kong market is that it is to be the venue, next month, for the first ever British Motor Show to be staged in this part of the world. In it our aim is not so much to increase the number of cars on Hong Kong's roads but to increase the number of British vehicles to regain some of the ground we have lost over the past
few years.
It typifies our intention to prove to the Hong Kong importers and the Hong Kong public that Britain can and does still make it, and is determined to sell and deliver. There are from time to time set backs beyond the control of all of us - like the energy crisis, or the sudden increase in raw material costs, or unforseeable and unavoidable breaks in the chain of supply but, whatever impression the press may sonetimes give, Britain is not the only trading nation affected by then. We aim to prove that we still remain one of the greatest exporting nations in the world.
