§ MR.MOND (Chester)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state what proportion of the imports of arms and ammunition for the year 1905, Cd. 3092, page 124, Class N, were military or naval stores.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE, Carnarvon Boroughs)Military and naval stores are not separately distinguished from other arms and ammunition imported, nor is there a complete account of the imports of such stores, as military and naval stores brought into the country on Government vessels are not recorded in the import Returns. My hon. friend will find some details as to the nature of the articles included under this heading in Vol. I. of the "Annual Statement of Trade."
