HC Deb 08 February 1911 vol 21 c283
Mr. CROFT

asked the President of the Board of Trade, if he will state the latest figures for a complete year's exports from the United Kingdom to Canada; and if the returns for 1910 are not yet complete, the amount of the first six months?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. H. J. Tennant)

The total value of the exports from this country to Canada, exclusive of bullion and specie, in 1910, amounted to £22,626,000. Of this £19,682,000 represented exports of the produce and manufacture of the United Kingdom, and £2,944,000 re-exports of foreign and colonial merchandise.

Mr. CROFT

May I ask whether this does not show a very considerable increase in the exports of Canada in this latter period compared with the figures given last year?

Mr. TENNANT

I am not able to answer that without verifying the figures.
