HC Deb 10 December 1986 vol 107 c175W
4. Mr. Soames

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement on the export performance of the United Kingdom.

Mr. Channon

Non-oil exports have been at their highest ever level in recent months. The volume of non-oil exports should rise further in 1987 reflecting faster growth in the United Kingdom's overseas markets and our improved competitiveness.

44. Mr. Fallon

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what information he has as to the current level of exports from the north-east region.

Mr. Alan Clark

This information is not available as export figures are not collected on a regional basis.
