§ Mr. Boydenasked the Minister of Public Building and Works what was the value of building materials exported 109W during 1963; and how this figure compares with 1962, 1959 and 1953.
§ Mr. SharplesThe value of building materials and components exported during 1963 is estimated at £101 million. As the headings under which some exports were recorded were changed at the end of 1962, exact comparisons cannot be made with earlier years. On the previous basis the figures for 1962, 1959 and 1953 were about £100 million; £105.6 million; and £91.7 million respectively.
