HC Deb 26 January 1993 vol 217 c620W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) what has been the net United Kingdom/ European Community trade balance, at current values, in all goods and services in each of the last 10 years for which figures are available;

(2) what has been the net United Kingdom trade balance, at current values, in all goods and services in each of the last 10 years for which figures are available.

Mr. Nelson

The United Kingdom's balance of trade in goods and services is available from published sources. The requested information is available in the 1992 edition of the Central Statistical Office's United Kingdom balance of payments publication—the Pink Book. The latest estimate for the United Kingdom's total balance on trade in services in 1991 is in the "Monthly Review of External Trade Statistics". Copies of these publications are available in the Library of the House. The data can also be found on the Central Statistical Office's database which can be accessed through the House of Commons Library.
