HC Deb 25 June 1981 vol 7 c140W
Mr. Dormand

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the amount of capital outflow from the United Kingdom in each of the years since becoming a member of the European Economic Community.

Mr. Lawson

The latest figures for United Kingdom private investment overseas, and for other capital movements in and out of the United Kingdom, were published in table G of the press notice "United Kingdom Balance of Payments in the first quarter of 1981", issued by the Central Statistical Office on 9 June 1981. This press notice covers the years 1978 to 1980. Figures for earlier years back to 1973, when the United Kingdom became a member of the European Economic Community, and earlier, were published on page 88 of the March issue of Economic Trends.
