HC Deb 19 May 1980 vol 985 c15W
Mr. Thomas Cox

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what has been the value of the export market during each of the last five years for radar equipment, both civil and military, made in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Parkinson

Because of changes in the method of classification, details of United Kingdom exports are not available from the overseas trade statistics on a comparable basis for the last five years. However, results of quarterly inquiries to establishments employing 25 or more persons yield the following information on export sales of radar equipment by United Kingdom manufacturers:

(£m)
1975 41.3
1976 64.0
1977 89.3
1978 105.0
1979 113.9*
*Provisional
