Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade how many pairs of shoes were imported into the United Kingdom in July, August, September and October of 1980; and from which countries they came.

Mr. Parkinson

Shoes are not separately distinguished in the Overseas Trade Statistics of the United Kingdom but are included with footwear in general under SITC(R2), items 851.01–04 inclusive. Information in respect of imports of footwear is given in the relevant issues of the above publication, copies of which are in the Library.
