§ 23. Mr. Knoxthe Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what was the value of exports to other member countries of the European Community in the most recent year for which figures are available; and how this compares with the value in 1978 at constant prices.
§ Mr. ButcherIn the year to May, United Kingdom exports to the other 11 members of the European Community amounted to £35.5 billion compared to £14.5 billion in 1978. These figures are at current prices. Constant price figures are not available, but a rough estimate of the increase in volume would be about 45 per cent.
