HC Deb 05 December 1978 vol 959 c629W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Secretary of State for Trade to what factor he attributes the fall in the Soviet flag share of direct cargo liner trade between the United Kingdom and Russia from 85.6 per cent. in 1977 to 18.7 per cent. in the first half of 1978 as shown in his answer to the hon. Member for Wirral (Mr. Hunt) on 23rd November.

Mr. Clinton Davis:

I regret that the figure of 18.7 per cent. was a misprint. The correct figure for the Soviet flag share of liner cargoes in direct trades between the United Kingdom and the USSR in the first half of 1978 is 81.7 per cent.
