HC Deb 09 May 1984 vol 59 c384W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1) if he will give the total value of textile exports from the United Kingdom in each year since 1974; and what was the balance of trade deficit or surplus in each of these years;

(2) what was the total value of textile imports into the United Kingdom in each of the years since 1974.

Mr. Channon

[pursuant to his reply, 25 April 1984, c. 509]: My attention has been drawn to an error in the calculations on which the answer was based, necessitating the following corrections to the table of figures included therewith:

Value £ million
Export (fob) Crude Balance
1982
For "2,099" For "+63"
Read "1,379" Read "–657"
