§ Mr. MoynihanThe information requested is as follows:
£'000 s £'000 s Trading accounts turnover 31,199 Add VAT 2,135 Non trading receipts 421 2,556 Less increase in debtors 44 Decrease in copyright in advance 3 47 Appropriation account receipts 33,708 Turnover is explained in note 1(h) to the 1986–87 trading accounts and is exclusive of VAT.
