HC Deb 27 March 1975 vol 889 cc246-7W
Mr. Adam Butler

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will give the breakdown into the main categories of the United Kingdom's imports from and exports to the present eight members of the EEC in non-oil goods for each of the years 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974 and for the four quarters of 1973 and 1974 if these are available.

Mr. Clinton Davis:

Annual figures for 1973 and 1974 are published in Tables II and V of the December issues of the Overseas Trade Statistics of the United Kingdom and quarterly figures can be derived from the March, June, September and December issues. Comparable data for 1970 to 1972 can be obtained by adding Denmark, Faroe Islands, Greenland and Irish Republic to the figures shown for the original EEC in Tables I and III of Volume I of the appropriate Annual Statement of Overseas Trade of the United Kingdom. Figures in SITC(R) Division 33 covering oil goods should be ignored throughout.
