HC Deb 27 November 1981 vol 13 c491W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Trade (1) if, in view of the deficit of over £2,000 million in the United Kingdom's manufacturing trade with Germany in 1980, he will initiate a study into the reasons for the deficit and in particular whether there is any evidence of non-tariff discrimination in the United Kingdom's trade with Germany;

(2) if he will publish a table showing the exports and imports of manufactures from the United Kingdom to the EEC and the rest of the world, respectively, in respect of those months of 1981 for which figures are available.

Mr. Peter Rees

I shall reply to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
