§ Mr. Andrew SmithTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the compliance rate to date of traders in statistical submissions for intra-community transactions in January and February; and what percentage was received by the due date.
§ Sir John Cope[holding answer 14 April 1993]: To date, about 75 per cent. of the total returns expected for January and 68 per cent. of those for February have been received. In both months, about half the returns expected were received by the due date with a further substantial amount in the week following.
