To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the (a) total value, (b) value of goods and (c) value of services of the UK's exports to other EU member states was in 2006-07; and what percentage of the UK's exports in that year these figures represent. (167789)

In 2006 the value of total UK exports to the EU27 was £20 billion. Of this £15 billion was exports of goods and £5 billion was exports of services. In 2006 the EU27 accounted for 55 per cent. of total exports, 63 per cent. of goods exports and 41 per cent. of services exports.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the value was of the UK's exports to other European Economic Community (EEC) member states (a) in total, (b) in goods and (c) in services expressed by the value of the pound in 2007 in the first 12 months after the UK joined the EEC. (167790)

The value of UK exports to the EEC in 1974 was £5.5 billion (1974 prices). This is based on IMF data, which do not give a breakdown between goods and services, or allow for the figure to be expressed in the value of the pound in 2007. This is 33 per cent. of the total value of UK exports in 1974, which was £16.8 billion.
