To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what information he has on the value of exports of manufactured goods for the United Kingdom for each of the last two years; and if he will make a statement.

United Kingdom exports of manufactured goods rose in value from £60,656 million in 1987 to £65,454 million in 1988. This is another indicator reflecting the strong performance of our manufacturing sector.
