27. Mr. Alan W. WilliamsTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what is the value of British exports in environmental technology, at the latest date for which figures are available; and what share this represents of world trade.
§ Mr. NeedhamExports of pollution control and monitoring equipment totalled some £480 million in 1992. Figures for world trade are not available on the same basis, but in 1991 exports from the United Kingdom are estimated to have accounted for approximately 10 per cent. of exports of this type of equipment from OECD countries.
