HC Deb 11 May 1976 vol 911 cc128-9W
Mr. Lee

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the estimated value of British-owned overseas portfolio investments on 1st January 1970, 1971, 1974, 1975 and 1976; and what were the estimated values of British-owned overseas fixed investments on the same dates.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

Estimates of the market value of United Kingdom portfolio investments and of the book value of direct and oil company investments were published in Table D page 186 of the Bank of England's Quarterly Bulletin for June 1975. I attach a copy for my hon. Friend. Estimates for 1975 and 1976 are not yet available.
