<p>This information is given in tables 1 and 2 below. The exports of services figures
in Table 1 are sourced from the Office for National Statistics’ Pink Book 2015 release
and are on a ‘Balance of Payments’ basis. Figures for exports of goods on the same
basis are only available at a broad level of commodity aggregation (1 digit SITC level).
Goods data at the level of detail required to answer this PQ are available from HM
Revenue and Customs Overseas Trade Statistics database (Table 2) attached. These data
are on a different (‘merchandise’) basis, hence not strictly comparable with the ONS
data. Moreover, data for 2015 are not available for services.</p><p>Table 1</p><table><tbody><tr><td
