§ 75. Mr. Shoreasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what are his latest estimates of the annual cost to Great Britain of adopting the regulations of the European Economic Community in respect of direct investment and portfolio investment.

I would expect some net outflow in respect of both direct and portfolio investment, but there will be movements in both directions and a probability of considerable fluctuations from one year to another.
