HC Deb 05 June 1967 vol 747 c131W
Mr. Beaney

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the total amount of United Kingdom overseas capital assets for 1938, and for each successive year since then.

Mr. MacDermot

The latest available figures are for the end of 1964 when total United Kingdom assets overseas, both long-term and short-term, were estimated at £15,725 million. The figures are shown in detail in United Kingdom Balance of Payments 1966. Official estimates are not available for the run of years back to 1938.
