HC Deb 22 November 1976 vol 919 cc971-2W
Mr. Viggers

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what has been the United Kingdom balance of trade with Turkey during each of the last five years; and if he will list for each year the principal six component products comprised in such figures.

Mr. Meacher

Figures on a balance of payments basis for trade with individual countries are not compiled. The crude trade balance—i.e., the difference between exports fob and imports cif—with Turkey can be obtained from the Annual Abstract of Statistics 1975 (page 288 and 290) for the years 1971 to 1974 while related information about the principal commodities traded can be found in the Annual Statements of Overseas Trade of the United Kingdom for 1971 to 1973 and the December 1974 volume of the Overseas Trade Statistics. For 1975, information on exports and imports can be obtained from the December 1975 volume of the Overseas Trade Statistics (Table II page 7 and Table V page 7).
