HC Deb 18 February 1987 vol 110 c629W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what percentage of total visible exports are accounted for by defence exports.

Mr. Alan Clark

The latest figures available are for 1985. Exports of identified defence equipment, as defined in the "Statement on the Defence Estimates 1986" (table 2.8), accounted for 1 per cent. of the United Kingdom's total visible exports for that year.
