HC Deb 22 May 1972 vol 837 cc306-8W
Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the total amount of invisible earnings for that part of 1972 for which figures are available; and how that figure compares with the amount over the same period during each of the past four years.

Mr. Nott

Detailed figures of invisibles in the first quarter will be published on 8th June. The surplus on net invisible earnings in the early months of 1972 is estimated at rather over £50 million a month. Figures for 1971 and earlier years were published in the March, 1972 issue of Economic Trends.
