HC Deb 06 November 1992 vol 213 c425W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish a table showing the reduction in the trade-weighted nominal rate for the pound sterling since the fourth quarter of 1986, together with his estimate of the corresponding reduction in relative export unit values, assuming that the fall in the nominal rate is fully reflected in a reduction in the prices charged by United Kingdom exporters in foreign currency terms.

Mr. Nelson

The latest figures for the sterling effective exchange rate index and the United Kingdom's relative export prices are on the CSO databank which may be accessed through the Library of the House.
