British Columbia Peaches.

HC Deb 02 June 1913 vol 53 c574

39. Sir CLEMENT KINLOCH COOKE

asked the number of cans of British Columbia peaches imported into this country for 1912?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Buxton)

Imports of canned peaches into the United Kingdom are not separately distinguished in the official Returns from imports of other canned fruits, and consignments from British Columbia are not separately distinguished from consignments from other parts of the Dominion of Canada. The information desired by the hon. Member is not, therefore, available. The total imports from Canada in 1912 of canned and bottled fruit of all kinds amounted to 27,660 cwts.
