HC Deb 23 September 1915 vol 74 cc550-1
13. Sir LEO CHIOZZA MONEY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether seeing that the German steel out-put was reported to have increased from 936,000 tons in January to 1,012,000 tons in April, he will say whether the Association of German Iron and Steel Masters have now returned the German steel output for July as 1,138,478 tons; and if he can give comparative figures for the British steel output?

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

The figures of steel output published by the Association of German Iron and Steel Masters are as stated in my hon. Friend's question. I am unable to furnish monthly figures for the output of steel in the United Kingdom, and such current figures as we have are not available for publication.
