Mr. Robert Howarth

asked the President of the Board of Trade what are the figures of imports for 1967 of made-up textile goods in cotton, manmade fibres and mixtures; and how these compare with the figures for the last five years expressed as a percentage of domestic consumption.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

Information relating to made-up textiles in man-made South-Western development areas and the rest of Great Britain do not. Since August, 1966 ancillary space is included in all areas.

fibres and mixtures is not available. Up-to-date figures for made-up cotton textiles are being worked out. I will reply further as soon as possible.
