Asked by: Lord Hoyle (Labour - Life peer)
Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what were the main exports and imports between the UK and (1) France, (2) Germany, and (3) Italy, in (a) 2014, (b) 2015, and (c) 2016.
Answered by Lord Price
The top three exports and imports which the UK trades with France, Germany and Italy are shown in the tables attached. This data contains HMRC trade in goods data, which is on the basis of goods crossing the customs border, and trade in services data which is from the ONS Pink Book on a balance of payments basis. Data for 2015 is pending correction by ONS, so is not shown. Data for 2016 will be published later this year. Both the HMRC and ONS data has been published and is publicly available.
Further information on UK trade in goods is available in the HMRC Overseas Trade Statistics interactive database.
Further information on 2014 UK trade in services is available in ONS The Pink Book 2016.
