HC Deb 09 December 1980 vol 995 c295W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what is the value of British steel exports to the United States of America; and what proportion this represents of total European Economic Community steel exports to the United States of America.

Mr. Parkinson

United Kingdom exports of steel to the United States of America in the first 10 months of this year were valued at £50 million. In the year 1979, the latest period for which comparable international information is readily available, they were valued at £107 million—about 12 per cent. of total Community exports of steel to the United States of America. United Kingdom exports in the early part of this year were affected by the steel strike.
