HC Deb 10 April 1951 vol 486 cc61-2W
73. Sir W. Smithers

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will state, during the five years ended 31st December, 1950, what percentage of exports were produced and sold under private enterprise and by the nationalised industries, respectively; and what were their respective values.

Mr. Bottomley

The contribution of nationalised industries to United Kingdom exports is mainly an indirect one which cannot accurately be measured.
