HC Deb 09 February 1904 vol 129 c724
MR. D. A. THOMAS (Merthyr Tydvil)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give for the latest period conveniently available the quantities of coal exported at declared values of 5s. and not exceeding 6s., at 6s. and not exceeding 7s., and at 7s. and not exceeding 8s. per ton respectively; and if he has any official information explaining the smaller quantities shipped at values between 6s. and 7s.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN, Worcestershire, E.)

I shall be glad to give the information which the hon. Member asks for. But I am told it will take some time to prepare the figures, and I therefore hope the hon. Member will allow me to communicate with him again as soon as I am in full possession of the facts.
