§ Mr. Russell Johnstonasked the President of the Board of Trade (1) if he will give an estimate of the percentage of the output of manufacturing industry which was exported from Scotland and from the remainder of the United Kingdom in each year from 1945;
(2) what he estimates was the value of Scottish exports per employee as against exports per employee in the rest of the United Kingdom in each year from 1945;
(3) what he estimates was the value of Scottish exports and of exports from 369W the remainder of the United Kingdom in each year from 1945.
§ Mr. MasonI regret that I am unable to give such estimates.
Contributions to the value of individual products exported may be made by industry in more than one region and goods are not necessarily shipped from the region in which the final stage of their manufacture takes place.
