Abstract

Over the past 15 years, manufactures have been the fastest-growing sector of Britain's import trade. In 1969, the dollar value of total retained imports was 75 per cent higher than the 1955 figure but the dollar value of imports of manufactures was more than 260 per cent greater than in 1955. The latter rise owed little to higher prices; there was a more than threefold increase in volume. Thus manufactures which had in 1955 supplied just under 23 per cent of retained imports accounted for 43 per cent in 1969.
