CIVIL SERVICE STRIKE DELAYS U.K. TRADE FIGURES
Civil service industrial action started
early this month will delay the publication of May's U.K.
Overseas trade figures, which had been due out next Thursday, a
Trade and Industry Department statement said.
    A department spokesman said the figures will probably be
put back by about a month. The June trade figures, due in late
July, will also be delayed, he added.
