§ Mr. FearnTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his Department's estimate of the total value of goods sold in the United Kingdom in the categories of(a) private motor vehicles, (b) white goods and(c) personal computers in each of the last five years for which figures are available. [78008]
§ Dr. HowellsI have been asked to reply.
Estimates of the value of goods sold to consumers in the United Kingdom are published by the Office for National Statistics in "Consumer Trends" and electronically on the ONS databank, which can be accessed by the House of Commons Library. Purchases of private motor vehicles are shown as series CCQI and white goods as series CDDS in table 2.1 of "Consumer Trends". Purchases of computers are not separately identified but are included within series CDGH, audio-visual goods, also in table 2.1.
