HC Deb 12 February 1969 vol 777 cc309-10W
67. Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in order to provide effective comparisons between pre-devaluation and post-devaluation periods, he will include in the monthly trade figures estimates of the cost of imports and of the yield of exports for comparative periods expressed in terms of the dollar equivalent of the relevant foreign currencies.

Mr. Dell

I have already made arrangements for figures of trade expressed in terms of the dollar equivalent of sterling to be published in the Board of Trade Journal of 21st February and for each quarter subsequently.
