§ Mr. Austin Mitchellasked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he will publish a table in the Official Report showing imports and experts of manufactures from the EEC Six in each quarter since the beginning of 1976, by volume, using the increase in unit values as a price deflator.

It would be wrong to publish misleading information.
