§ Mr. Brocklebank-Fowlerasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1) if he will supply the figures showing the balance of trade between the United 20W Kingdom and the Sudan for the five years ended 31st March, 1970;
(2) if he will supply figures showing the balance of trade between Great Britain and the United Arab Republic for the five-year period ended March, 1970;
(3) if he will supply figures showing the balance of trade between the United Kingdom and Libya for the five years ended 31st March, 1970.
§ Mr. NobleFigures for the trade balance are not available for individual countries. Figures of imports c.i.f. and exports f.o.b. are published, but the difference between them is not a good measure of the visible trade balance because, inter alia, of the difference in the basis of valuation.
