HC Deb 23 March 1914 vol 60 c36
70. Mr. CROFT

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can give figures showing domestic exports from this country in 1908 and 1913 of articles wholly or mainly manufactured to each of the under-mentioned countries: Canada, Union of South Africa, Australian Commonwealth, New Zealand, Germany, France, Belgium, and United States?

Mr. BURNS

The particulars desired for 1913 are not yet available, but I will have a statement printed in the Votes giving this information for 1908 and 1912.—[See Written Answers this date.]

Mr. CROFT

Is the right hon. Gentleman always going to refuse to give figures?

Mr. BURNS

No, Sir. I should be pleased to give any reasonable figures asked for by any Member.

Mr. CROFT

The right hon. Gentleman's predecessor always gave these figures.
