I believe that during those discussions United Kingdom Ministers were able to explain to Chilean counterparts the position regarding the legal process in this country, and that has been fully understood. They felt that that was a great help in enhancing what has been a very good trading relationship between our two countries since the Labour Government took office. My Lords, I am sure that the warm approach which is fundamental to the way in which Her Majesty's Government and Chile normally carry on their relations is a characteristic that will inform our general relationship. On the issue of commercial relationships, our position in regard to Chile is strong. Our exports last year were at a record high.
Chile is the UK's third largest market in South America, after Brazil and Argentina.
We hope that that trading position will continue to improve.
