HC Deb 14 May 1965 vol 712 cc126-46W
Mr. Snow

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware of the United Kingdom's present adverse balance of trade with Rhodesia, Zambia, Malawi, Nigeria, Ceylon, Libya, Denmark, Chile, Kuwait, Iraq, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, New Zealand, and Finland; and if he will state the value of exports in 1961 and January—September 1964, at an annual rate, to each of those countries, from the United Kingdom, the United States of America, West Germany, Switzerland, and Canada, of non-electric machinery, power generating machinery, except electric, agricultural machinery and implements, metal-working machine-tools, electrical machinery, apparatus and appliances, transport equipment, passenger motor-cars, except buses, other road motor vehicles, fabrics, woven, of synthetic fibres, and synthetic organic dystuffs, natural indigo and colour lakes.

Mr. Redhead

Yes. Exports to Rhodesia, Zambia and Malawi separately were not recorded and the figures in the tables below relate to exports to the former Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. The figures for Switzerland are for January to June, 1964, the latest available in the detail required.
