§ MR. VINCENT KENNEDYTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state when the long delayed Return of Irish exports and imports for 1902, promised by the right hon. Member for Dover in 1903, will be published.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) I have already stated that it is not now intended to publish the statistics as to the imports and exports of Ireland for any year prior to 1904, as the Returns which it was found possible to obtain were not of sufficient completeness to justify publication. Information of a more complete character has been collected for the years 1904 and 1905, and will be published as soon as possible.
