§ 21. Mr. Hall-Davisasked the President of the Board of Trade if he proposes to publish the Study of Export Profitability which the Economic Research Intelligence Unit of his Department has undertaken; and when this report may be expected.
§ Mrs. Gwyneth DunwoodyYes. Preparation of the study for publication is well advanced and I hope that it will appear as a Board of Trade Economic Paper early in 1970.
§ Mr. Hall-DavisWhile welcoming the Parliamentary Secretary's statement, may I ask her to press on and ensure that there is no delay, because it would be most helpful that these matters should be thoroughly discussed with a view to reaching policy decisions?
§ Mrs. DunwoodyI am sure that the study will be of great assistance. The difficulty was that although it was based on a limited study, the information that we have received in answer to many questions needed to be correlated very carefully before it could be produced. We are certainly pressing on with it now.
