§ Mr. MealeTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he intends to change(a) the method of collection of trade statistics and (b) the form of their public presentation, as a consequence of the completion of the European Economic Community single market; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Maude[holding answer 10 April 1989]: I have nothing to add to the reply given to my hon. Friend, the Member for Rutland and Melton (Mr. Latham) on 21 February at column 546 on the method of collection. The presentation of United Kingdom trade statistics after the completion of the single market has yet to be decided.
