HC Deb 29 July 1963 vol 682 cc21-2W
Sir C. Osborne

asked the President of the Board of Trade what estimate he has made of the number of jobs in this coun- try that depend directly or indirectly on the export trade.

Mr. Erroll

No precise estimate is possible. Exports of goods and services account for about a quarter of our total output. Directly or indirectly the maintenance of full employment depends on the adequacy of our exports.
