§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Industry what was the total value of output of the aerospace industry in the United Kingdom last year; and what proportion of this was produced in Wales.
§ Mr. KaufmanThe gross value of the output of the aerospace industry in the United Kingdom in 1974 was £1,308 million. As the proportion produced in Wales was contributed by less than five firms, it cannot, under the Statistics of Trade Act, be revealed without the permission of the firms concerned. The necessary permission is being sought, and I will write to the hon. Member for Caernarvon in due course.
