§ Mr. Sainsbury[holding answer 16 July 1991]: In keeping with the established practice of my Department, questions on exports are answered in terms of goods only. This was the case in the reply given in the Official Report of 2 July 1991 at column 96. The Department is not aware of any publication which provides export volume figures on this basis for Portugal and Luxembourg. Table 36 of the December 1990 edition of the "European Economy" shows the change in volume of exports of goods and services.
