Mr. Oppenheim

There was no recorded primary or mine production of mercury within the United Kingdom in 1995. No statistics are available for secondary mercury production recovered from scrap. In 1995, 3.9 tonnes of mercury—£39,000 by value—was imported into the United Kingdom, and 224.3 tonnes of mercury—£108,000 by value—was exported from the United Kingdom.
