HC Deb 28 February 1967 vol 742 cc58-9W
43. Mr. Dickens

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the total outflow of capital from the United Kingdom in 1966; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Callaghan

The total net outflow of long-term capital, Government and private, in the first nine months of 1966 is estimated at £48 million. Figures for 1966 as a whole will be published in March. On the latter part of the hon. Member's Question, the Government's exchange control measures and the Voluntary Programme are having a substantial effect.
