HC Deb 29 April 1987 vol 115 c140W
28. Mr. Fayell

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what the balance of trade with the United States of America was in 1986.

Mr. Butcher

In 1986, our exports to the United States were worth £10 billion, compared with imports of £8 billion. There was thus a crude balance in our favour of some £2 billion.
