HC Deb 28 February 1984 vol 55 c94W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will publish in the Official Report a table showing the United Kingdom share of European Economic Community imports of manufactures from other European Economic Community countries in 1957, 1970 and the latest 12 months for which figures are available.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

Data for 1957 are not readily available. In 1970 and the year ending June 1983 the shares were 10.7 per cent. and 10.2 per cent., respectively.
