HC Deb 04 December 1992 vol 215 cc449-50W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what estimate has been made of the effect on the United Kingdom balance of payments of Libyan sanctions.

Mr. Needham

[holding answer 2 December 1992]: It is impossible to say what additional trade might have occurred or the effect on the United Kingdom balance of payments—if sanctions against Libya had not been adopted by the United Nations Security Council.
