§ Mr. Hamiltonasked the President of the Board of Trade the total volume of exports from Scottish ports in 1952; what was the value of such exports; and what were the comparable figures for each year since 1945.
§ Mr. P. ThorneycroftI give below the total value of exports through Scottish ports during each of the years 1946 to 1951. I regret that comparable figures for 1952 have not yet been compiled and those for 1945 are not available.
It would be impracticable to make estimates of the total volume of goods exported through Scottish ports, similar to the volume indices published for exports through all ports.
