Mr. Edward Taylorasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was Great Britain's adverse trade balance, expressed in percentage terms, with the EEC and the rest of the world, respectively, in the first 10 months of 1973.
§ Sir G. HoweI have been asked to reply.
Estimates of visible trade on a balance of payments basis for part-years are compiled only for total trade and not for individual areas; but consideration is being given to their compilation in respect of trade with the Communities.
