HC Deb 20 February 1996 vol 272 cc55-6W
Mr. Hicks

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the estimated value of exports by business enterprises located in Cornwall on the basis of figures compiled by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise; and if he will make a statement. [15612]

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

The location of the business enterprise making an export is not held by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise; only the address registered for VAT purposes is available, which may be at a different location within the UK. Consequently, regional analyses of the trade statistics are not produced, and information relating to the value of exports by business enterprises located in Cornwall is not available.
