HC Deb 24 May 1960 vol 624 cc17-8W
9. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much United Kingdom capital has been invested in the European Economic Community and the European Free Trade Association, respectively, since their inception.

Mr. Amory

Estimates of United Kingdom investment in the countries of the European Economic Community in 1958 and 1959 were given by my hon. Friend the Economic Secretary on 5th April, in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Stroud (Mr. Kershaw). No figures of investment in the countries of the European Free Trade Association since its inception are yet available because the Association came into existence as recently as 3rd May this year.
