(2) what was the total value of textile imports into the United Kingdom in each of the years since 1974.
§ Mr. Channon[pursuant to his reply, 25 April 1984, c. 509]: My attention has been drawn to an error in the calculations on which the answer was based, necessitating the following corrections to the table of figures included therewith:
Value £ million Export (fob) Crude Balance 1982 For "2,099" For "+63" Read "1,379" Read "–657" Source: For "Item 874.11", Read "Item 847.11".
