§ Mr. Teddy Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Employment (1) if he has made any estimate of the additional jobs which would have been provided in the United Kingdom if our exports of manufactured goods to the EEC in 1977, 1978 and 1979 had been equal to United Kingdom imports of manufactured goods from the EEC during this three year period;
(2) if he has made any estimate of the additional jobs which were provided in the United Kingdom as a consequence of the very substantial trade surplus in manufactured goods which the nation has enjoyed with the trading world, excluding the EEC, in the three year period from 1977.
§ Mr. Jim LesterI will reply to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
