Baroness Crawley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What has been the impact, if any, on the United Kingdom economy of the turmoil in the financial markets of the Far East which began with devaluation of the Thai baht in July 1997. [HL3495]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

Excluding China, UK exports to South-East Asia fell in 1998. Detailed assessments were published in the economy annexes of the 1998 Budget and Pre-Budget Reports [HC620 and Cmnd 4076 respectively).
