HC Deb 23 March 1965 vol 709 cc56-7W
107. Sir C. Osborne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimated breakdown of the £800 million adverse trade balance for 1964 between flight of capital, leads and lags in payment, food and raw material stockpiling, fall in investment earnings and the real change in normal trade imports and exports, respectively; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. MacDermot

I must ask the hon. Member to wait for the figures of the U.K. balance of payments in the year 1964, which will be published about the end of March.
