HC Deb 02 May 1966 vol 727 c73W
Mr. Tilney

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list in table form the estimated value of British assets overseas and the estimated liabilities of Great Britain to those resident overseas.

Mr. MacDermot

The December, 1965, issue of the Bank of England Quarterly Bulletin, which is available in the Library, contains such a table relating to the position at the end of 1964. Taking short- and long-term items together, total assets were estimated at about £15,550 million and liabilities at about £13,400 million.
