§ 15. Mr. FELLasked the President of the Board of Trade if his attention has been called to the figures of the imports into the United States of America for the month of January; and if he can give any explanation of the cause of the increase in the imports from Germany and the decrease in the imports from Great Britain in that month?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD Of TRADE (Mr. J. M. Robertson)I have seen a summary statement of the figures in the Press, but I have received no details at present. I have, however, caused inquiries on the subject to be made through His Majesty's Embassy at Washington, and will communicate the result to the hon. Member.
