HC Deb 20 March 1980 vol 981 c272W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what is the value of United Kingdom oil exports; what proportion this represents of total United Kingdom exports; and what estimate he has made of the comparable figures for 1985.

Mr. Parkinson

On a balance of payments basis, the value of United Kingdom exports of crude oil and oil products was £4,153 million in 1979, representing 10 per cent. of total exports of goods. No official estimates of the comparable figures for 1985 are available.
