§ Mr. Austin Mitchellasked the Minister for Trade what was the volume of United Kingdom exports of manufactures, semi-manufactures and finished manufactures in January based on fourth quarter 1981 weights.
§ Mr. Peter ReesVolume index numbers in respect of January 1982, weighted by the fourth quarter of 1981, cannot be calculated without disproportionate cost. However, current weighted volume index numbers—weighted by trade in January—are readily calculable and are as follows:
Exports—current weighted volume Indices—January 1982 1975=100 seasonally adjusted SITC(R2) Index Manufactures 5–8 101.0 of which: semi manufactures 5–6 114.4 finished manufactures 7–8 94.0
