§ Mr. Gouldasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when the full figures for the United Kingdom's exports and imports of textile and clothing products for 1984 and the figures indicating the utilisation of multi-fibre arrangement quotas in 1984 will be available.
§ Mr. ChannonDetailed trade figures for 1984 have been published in the December 1984 issue of the "Overseas Trade Statistics of the United Kingdom", which is available in the House of Commons Library. It is expected that 1984 figures for "Overseas trade analysed in terms of industries" will be published in the "Business Monitor MQ10", which is also received by the Library, by the end of April. This gives an analysis of exports and imports classified according to the industries of which they are principal products —and is used, for example, to measure import penetration. Final licensing statistics relating to the utilisation of multi-fibre arrangement quotas for 1984 will also be known at the end of April.
