§ Mr. Austin Mitchellasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will publish in the Official Report a table showing trade with the European Economic Community and the rest of the world in 1982 and the first seven months of 1983 in tufted carpets, carpeting and rugs subject to a tariff of 14 per cent. in 1987 under the terms of the Tokyo Round of tariff reductions.
§ Mr. Alexander FletcherThis information can be readily derived from the details published in the relevant volumes of the United Kingdom Overseas Trade Statistics under SITC(R2) items 659.41, 659.51 and 659.61, on all of which the rate of duty applicable in 1987 under the terms of the Tokyo round of tariff reductions will be 14 per cent. Copies of this publication are in the Library.
§ Mr. Austin Mitchellasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will publish in the Official Report a table showing for the principal temperate foodstuffs the value of United Kindom imports from the European Economic Community as a percentage of United Kingdom exports to the European Economic Community for 1970 and the latest 12 months for which figures are available.
§ Mr. Alexander FletcherI am not aware of any convenient definition of the term, temperate foodstuffs, by which the trade which the hon. Member has in mind could readily be identified in the official statistics.
