HC Deb 27 July 1903 vol 126 cc310-1
MR. SEELY (Lincoln)

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what are the total annual imports of food only into the United Kingdom from British colonies and foreign countries, respectively.

(Answered by Mr. Gerald Balfour.) I will see what information can be supplied to the hon. Member as to the imports of food only if he will be good enough to specify the articles which he thinks should be excluded, as being articles of drink. Perhaps he will consider such cases as condensed milk, tea, coffee, and ice.
