HC Deb 12 July 1995 vol 263 c642W
30. Mr. Amess

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the trend in United Kingdom exports. [32151]

Mr. Nelson

The outlook for exports in 1995 is excellent. In the three months to April, the volume of United Kingdom exports, excluding oil and erratics was 9.5 per cent. higher than a year earlier. The CBI reports that export order books are growing faster than ever before and that optimism among exporters is at its highest for a generation.
