Mr. BUXTONI will have a detailed statement giving the information desired by the hon. Member printed in the Votes. The declared value of exports of British-made boots and shoes to the United States was £3,403 in 1908, £4,319 in 1909, and £36,118 in 1910. The corresponding figures as regards exports to all British Possessions are £1,651,125 in 1908, £1,709,572 in 1909, and £2,111,056 in 1910. [See Written Answers this date.]
§ Mr. WILLIAM PEELasked whether the right hon. Gentleman is prepared to give the total number and the declared value of British-made boots and shoes exported from this country for the years 1908, 1909, and 1910, for the use of the British Army and Navy stationed abroad?
Mr. BUXTONI am not in a position to furnish this information, but I understand that my right hon. Friends the First Lord of the Admiralty and the Under-Secretary of State for War would both be prepared to do so as regards their separate Departments if the hon. Member will give them due notice.
