Mr. Watts

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a further statement about the recent trend of export trade.

Non-oil exports were at record levels in both value and volume last year. By the end of 1986 the volume of non-oil exports was over 10 per cent. higher than a year earlier and is forecast to rise further this year.
