Proceeding contribution from Baroness Vadera (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 19 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Industry and Exports (Financial Support) Bill.
Industry and Exports (Financial Support) Bill
My Lords, indeed we do export visibles. The noble Lord will not be surprised to hear that manufacturing, a sector that has not traditionally been supported by the Opposition, is one of our biggest exporters. It is a significant proportion of our exports, and exports are a significant proportion of manufacturing output. I do not have to hand the balance of payments figures for last year. I believe that we have them in the Budget book, and I will be very happy to confirm in writing the figures, which are of course publicly available. Bill read a second time.
