HC Deb 20 March 1980 vol 981 cc270-1W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Trade, further to his reply concerning import regulations, Official Report, 4 February, c. 2–4, whether he will circulate in the Official Report a table setting out the principal figures to which he referred in his supplementary reply to the hon. Member for Plymouth, Sutton (Mr. Clark).

Mr. Parkinson

The import penetration figures to which my right hon. Friend referred are published in Business Monitor MQ12 "Import penetration and export sales ratios for manufacturing industry". The latest information available relates to the 12 months ended September 1979. A selection of the figures from the Monitor was published in the 14 March edition of "British Business". Both publications are available in the House of Commons library.
