HC Deb 11 July 1974 vol 876 c530W
29. Mr. Edge

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to collect the necessary information to enable him to compile and publish regional balance of payments statistics on a quarterly basis.

Mr. Joel Barnett

I am not quite sure what my hon. Friend has in mind but many of the components of the balance of payments between regions of the United Kingdom would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to obtain.
