§ MR. SUMMERSI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider the advisability of giving instructions that, in future Returns of the Trade and Navigation of the United Kingdom, galvanised sheets, which constitute a trade by themselves, shall be entered as a separate item instead of being included, as at present, under the heading of "hoops, sheets, and boiler and armour plates"?
§ *THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Sir M. HICKS BEACH, Bristol, W.)The exports of galvanised sheets are already shown separately in the Annual Statement of the Trade of the United Kingdom; but I will refer to the Revising Committee, which meets in the Autumn, the question whether galvanised sheets can be separately entered in the monthly accounts of trade without unduly adding to the bulk of that publication.
