§ Mr. Austin Mitchellasked the Secretary of State for Trade what was the reason for the fall in price of imports of electrical machinery in 1979; which were the goods principally concerned; and from which countries they were sent.
§ Mr. TebbitThe fall in the import unit value index for electrical machinery in 1979 results mainly from falls in the component series for ADP machinery, and for domestic TV, radio and audio equipment. ADP machinery is imported principally from the Federal Republic of Germany, France and the USA; the other goods, principally from Japan and Hong Kong.
