Exports from Northern Ireland

HC Deb 11 March 1958 vol 584 cc27-8W

27 and 28. Mrs. McLaughlin

asked the President of the Board of Trade (1) what was the total value of exports from Northern Ireland in 1938 and 1957, respectively;

(2) what was the value of textile exports from Northern Ireland in 1938 and 1957, respectively.

Mr. Erroll

The trade returns relate only to the United Kingdom as a whole. The figures are not, therefore, available.

The Government of Northern Ireland have, however, published estimates of total exports direct to places outside the United Kingdom; these are £4.7 million in 1938 and £15.2 million in 1956.
