HC Deb 17 May 1965 vol 712 cc189-90W
Earl of Dalkeith

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give figures showing the relationship between the United Kingdom balance of trade deficit with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in 1964, and the total cost of timber and proceed timber imported from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics during that period.

Mr. Redhead

In 1964, the adverse trade balance (i.e. the difference between imports valued c.i.f. and exports plus re-exports valued f.o.b.) was £57.5 million; imports of timber and processed timber totalled £50.5 million.
