HC Deb 26 June 1884 vol 289 cc1413-4
MR. O'DONNELL

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, If he can state or undertake to give a brief Return of the average prices, and the annual exports, of the principal food grains of India, during the past twenty years?

MR. J. K. CROSS

The annual exports of the principal food grains of India for the last 20 years are given in the Statistical Abstracts relating to British India, and in greater detail in the Indian Trade Returns, both of which are annually presented to Parliament. A table of prices of food grains for past years is now being prepared, which will, I hope, be included in future Statistical Abstracts.
