HC Deb 08 May 1980 vol 984 cc189-90W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the United Kingdom customs duties paid to the EEC as own resources in 1979, broken down by two-digit standard industrial classification headings.

Mr. Peter Rees

I assume that my hon. Friend requires a list by standard international trade classification headings. The Vol. 984 gross amount of customs duties of about £870 million in 1979 is broken down as follows:
