HC Deb 24 February 1975 vol 887 c20W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will start to collect figures for British portfolio, oil and miscellaneous investment in each of the Common Market States.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

The collection of figures of transactions with individual countries would impose a heavy form-filling burden on those who supply the statistics. However, alternative methods of estimating the United Kingdom's investment transactions with the EEC, taken as a whole, are being explored.
