Mrs. Roche: To ask the President of the Board of Trade, pursuant to his answer of 14 November, Official Report, column 315, what information his Department collates regarding (a) the percentage of UK small and medium firms who export, (b) the figures in each EU country and (c) the EU average.

The European Commission defines a small or medium enterprise as one that employs fewer than 250 employees. The table does not give the percentage of small and medium enterprises that export according to this definition, nor can it be derived from the published information. There is also no information on the sample sizes or the general quality of the data.
