HC Deb 12 May 1967 vol 746 c315W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to what extent the monthly export trade statistics were distorted in the second half of 1966 as a result of the leave arrangements in the Customs Statistical Office.

Mr. MacDermot

There is no foundation at all for this suggestion. Every document received in the Customs Statistical Office within the relevant period is included in the month's figures, summer and winter alike.
