HC Deb 23 June 1969 vol 785 c219W
Mr. Maurice Macmillan

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the annual figures given in the December issue of the Overseas Trade Accounts of the United Kingdom are subject to the same errors of underestimation as the monthly export figures.

Mr. Dell

Both annual and monthly figures in the Overseas Trade Accounts for 1968 are estimated to have understated exports by an amount probably within the range of 2 to 3 per cent.
