HC Deb 25 November 1987 vol 123 c215W
43. Mr. Roy Hughes

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster to what factors he attributes the decline in Britain's share of manufactured exports and the trend of Britain's export performance in comparison with other European manufacturing nations.

Mr. Alan Clark

The United Kingdom share of manufactured exports has not declined over the last five years. Since the middle of 1986 our exports have grown faster than those of the other European manufacturing nations.
