Mr. Edward Lyons

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what percentage of United Kingdom components is used in television sets manufactured in the United Kingdom by British and Japanese companies, respectively.

Mr. Cryer

Statistics of United Kingdom-made electronic components are not classified according to their end-use. Many—for example, transistors, resistors, capacitors and switches—are of general application throughout the electronics field, and there is no way in which the proportion used in the manufacture of television sets could be deduced. Similar considerations apply to imported components.
