Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will circulate a table in the Official Report showing the increases in imports of (a) semi-manufactures and (b) finished manufactures compared with 1975 and 1979, respectively.

Mr. Lawson

Monthly, quarterly and annual series for imports of semi-manufactures and finished manufactures, both in value terms and volume indices, are published by the Department of Trade and appear in a number of official publications, including theMonthly Review of External Trade Statistics and the Monthly Digest of Statistics. I refer the hon. Member to these publications for the information which he requires.
