HC Deb 15 October 1975 vol 897 cc734-5W
Mrs. Ann Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Trade how many companies account for 25 per cent., 50 per cent., 65 per cent., 75 per cent., and 85 per cent. of, respectively, intra-firm exporting and intra-firm importing; what percentage these are of the total number of United Kingdom multi-nationals; what were the comparable figures for 1950, 1960 and 1970; and what were the equivalent figures for the United States of America, Germany, France, Japan and Sweden.

Mr. Deakins

Information on exports to related concerns overseas is not readily available in this form and its compilation would require a disproportionate amount of time and effort. No information is available on imports from related concerns overseas. I do not have data for other countries.
