HC Deb 11 July 1977 vol 935 cc1-2W
Mr. John Garrett

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what was Great Britain's share of world exports of (a) motor cars, (b) construction and mining machinery and (c) office machinery in 1956 and in 1976.

Mr. Meacher

The United Kingdom percentage share of the value of OECD member countries' relevant exports measured in United States dollars are as follows:

1956 1975
Motor Cars 22.0 4.4
(SITC 732.1)
Construction & Mining Machinery 12.2 8.2
(SITC 718.4 and 719.31)

jurisdiction to hear claims for breach of contract. Implementation of this provision, which would involve an increase in public service manpower, is at present delayed by the need to contain public expenditure. The order will be made when circumstances permit.
