§ Mr. Hugh Jenkinsasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what is the positive overseas balance produced by artistic royalties; how it compares with the balance produced by technological royalties; and what is the relationship of the positive balance to the amount spent abroad and to the receipts from other countries in each case.
§ Mr. Anthony GrantThe latest figures are for 1968, when there were favourable balances of £11 million for artistic royalties and £6 million for technological and mineral royalties, excluding oil. Details were published in the Board of Trade Journal of 25th March, 1970.
