§ Mr. Maurice Macmillanasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will publish in the Monthly Press Release and monthly in the Board of Trade Journal a table showing the monthly net total of receipts and payments of the Government current account overseas, a monthly average of the net private invisibles account, including interest profits and dividends, based on the previous available quarter's seasonally adjusted figures, an estimate of the net invisible earnings, and an estimate of the total current payments balance.
§ Mr. DellThe monthly Press notice and Journal article refer to recent figures of net invisible earnings, including those for the last available quarter, expressed at a monthly rate. It would be inappropriate to expand the report on our visible trade into such a statement on the balance of payments.
