Mr. Mason

The information is not available but overseas earnings from agriculture (including plantations) and mining amounted to £27 million and £33 million respectively in 1964, the latest year for which detailed estimates are available. Detailed results of the 1964 inquiry were published in the Board of Trade Journal of 10th June, 1966.
