§ Mr. CryerTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what were the annual exports from the United Kingdom of chlorofluorocarbons for each year from 1979 to 1989; what is the figure for 1990 to the most recent practicable date; and what estimate he has made of the quantities which will be exported in 1991 and 1992.
§ Mr. Redwood[pursuant to the reply by my hon. Friend the Member for Mid-Worcestershire (Mr Forth), 20 July 1990, c. 753–54]: Information is available only in respect of exports since 1 January 1989. Exports were 37,044 tonnes in 1989, valued at £32.278 million. Exports for the first five months of 1990 were 17,811 tonnes valued at £18.309 million. Further small quantities may have been exported in mixtures with other chemicals but these cannot be identified. My right hon. Friend has made no estimate of exports in 1991 or 1992.
