HC Deb 25 March 1982 vol 20 cc397-8W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what was the total value of imports of oil exploration and production equipment in 1981.

Mr. Peter Rees

The latest available information is set out in table 9.1 of the "United Kingdom Balance of Payments", 1981 edition, which is available in the Library. Information for 1981 is not yet available because of the effects of industrial action by civil servants last year.
