HC Deb 03 June 1946 vol 423 c248W
Mr. Janner

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will arrange to issue in future editions of Statistics of Overseas Trade information with regard to such matters as the royalty payments on films imported and exported, the sums expended by foreign tourists here and British tourists overseas and other figures relating to invisible exports and imports such as insurance payments, financial services, etc.

Mr. Marquand

Approximate figures of the various categories of receipts and payments in our Balance of Payments will be published in due course, but such approximate figures would not be suitable for inclusion in the monthly issues of the Trade and Navigation Accounts, even if estimates could be made for such short periods.
