HL Deb 17 February 1998 vol 586 c28WA
Lord Hooson

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have reliable figures of the annual cost to exporters and importers within the United Kingdom of exchange rate charges in their trade within the European Union. [HL511]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

Estimation of such figures raises difficult methodological problems. No such figures can be regarded as reliable.
