HC Deb 03 May 1971 vol 816 cc255-6W
51. Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what is the net annual contribution of the United Kingdom motor manufacturing industry to the balance of payments, after allowing for the cost of imports used in United Kingdom motor vehicle manufacture and for the cost of foreign motor vehicles imported into the United Kingdom.

Mr. Ridley

Provisional input-output tables for 1968 suggest about £500 million in respect of the current balance.
