HC Deb 04 March 1982 vol 19 c213W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he will publish in the Official Report a table showing United Kingdom imports from each country of the Commonwealth in 1980 of, respectively, manufactures, crude oil, food, beverages and tobacco, and other goods.

Mr. Peter Rees

I regret that because of the number of countries involved this information could be provided only at disproportionate cost. Details by SITC/R2 section and division of imports from individual Commonwealth countries are included in table II of the December 1980 issue of the "Overseas Trade Statistics of the United Kingdom", which is available in the Library.
