HC Deb 29 May 1968 vol 765 c216W
51. Mr. Tom Boardman

asked the President of the Board of Trade what is the estimated amount of the invisible exports earned by British consultant engineers and surveyors operating overseas.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

In 1966 architects' and consulting engineers' fees and contractors' net earnings on projects managed directly from the United Kingdom were estimated to amount to £38 million, of which consulting engineers' fees accounted for about half. Comparable information about fees earned overseas by surveyors is not available.
