§ Mr. Maurice Macmillanasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will publish in "Economic Trends" monthly figures of the debits and credits on the net Government current account overseas, as an addition to the table already published under the heading "Balance of Payments".
§ Mr. DiamondNo. Information about overseas expenditure and receipts by Government386W Departments is collected and published quarterly. I do not think that monthly publication would be helpful. The incidence by months is variable and seasonal correction would be difficult.
