57. Mr. Roger King

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what was the total number of United Kingdom produced vehicles exported to the United States market in 1986; what was their value; and what is his estimate for 1987.

Mr. Butcher

Figures are available for the 11 months to November 1986. For that period it is estimated that the United Kingdom exported 25,700 vehicles to the United States of America valued at £495 millions. Estimates of the proportion of these produced in the United Kingdom are not available. Vehicles have been defined as standard international trade classification revision 2 sub-groups 781.0, 782.1, 782.2, 783.1 and 783.2. No projections of exports for 1987 are available.
