§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he will give a detailed list of items and prices of commodities which were imported from the six countries of the EEC on a given date one month before Great Britain's entry and similar details for the latest and most convenient stated date.
§ Mr. MeacherThe information is not available. Information that might be of some help is published in Table III of the Overseas Trade Statistics of the United Kingdom, which lists commodities imported during particular months and gives principal supplying countries—together with the EEC "Six" as a group in the 1972 issues. Average values could be derived from this table, though these are not true prices because of differences in types, qualities, quantities, transport and other costs.
