Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what the value of international exports from (a) West Yorkshire, (b) North Yorkshire, (c) South Yorkshire, (d) East Yorkshire, (e) Greater Manchester, (f) Greater London and (g) Leeds was for each of the last five years; and whether his Department has made projections for that value in the next five years.

Data on the total value of exports are not available below the UK level. Data for the value of goods exports are published at regional level only by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in Regional Trade Statistics. Data on the value of service exports by region are not available.

Of the areas for which data have been requested only London has data available as this is reported as a region. The London region consists of the City of London and the 32 London Boroughs. The value of goods exports from the London region in the past five years is shown below.

The Department has not made projections for the value of exports in the next five years.
