Miss Anne Begg (Aberdeen, South) (Lab): This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Industry and Parliament Trust, of which I believe you are a patron, Mr Speaker. How useful does my Right Hon Friend believe that the Trust has been in fostering understanding between business and Parliament?

The Prime Minister: Let me congratulate the Trust on its 30th anniversary. In providing over 300 Fellowships and a number of opportunities for Members of Palriament to interact with business, it has done immensely valuable work over the years. Many hon. Members on both sides of the House have benefited enormously from that work.
