We have been canvassing on the Floor of this House the need to have trade attaches in those Missions abroad that have economic value. I am happy because trade matters are neither under my Committee nor the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There is a substantive Ministry called the Ministry of Industrialisation and Trade that handles international trade. The Departmental Committee on Trade and Cooperatives of this House oversees them. I am happy because the immediate former Chairperson of that Committee is currently the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. He has actually been moving this House into agreeing to have a budget for trade attachés in our Missions abroad. I, however, do not know whether it is about trade volumes. I am not sure whether it is my Committee or the Departmental Committee on Trade and Cooperatives that is supposed to handle this question. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."}
