§ SIR EDGAR VINCENT (Exeter)To ask the President of the Board of Trade, if he can state the amount during the last five years of the imports into 1177 the self-governing colonies of foreign manufactures, distinguishing if possible between those articles in which we compete and those in which we do not compete.
(Answered by Mr. Bonar Law.) I regret that the Colonial Statistical Returns do not classify imports from foreign countries into manufactured and un-manufactured articles.
§ MR. HERBERT SAMUEL (Yorkshire, Cleveland)To ask the President of the Board of Trade what is the value of the imports of British produce into the self-governing colonies per head of their aggregate population.
(Answered by Mr. Bonar Law.) In 1902 the value of British produce exported to the self-governing colonies was about £5 10s. per head, if the coloured population of South Africa be omitted, or £4 8s. per head of their aggregate population.
