asked the Secretary of State for Trade what has been the cost and volume, that is value at constant prices, of United Kingdom imports and exports as a whole and for each individual EEC country for each of the last 10 years.

The information requested on the value of United Kingdom trade with EEC countries is readily available in published statistics, and I refer my hon. Friend to Tables B2 and E20 of the January issue of the Monthly Review of Exttrnal Trade Statistics. A copy of this publication is in the House of Commons Library.Information on the volume of United Kingdom trade with specific areas of countries is not available in the United Kingdom statistics.
