§ 59. Mr. FELLasked the President of the Board of Trade if it is possible to supply the total value of the production of gold in the year 1915, distinguishing the amount produced in the British Empire, in the United States, in Russia, and in the rest of the world?
Mr. RUNCIMANI have no official information on the subject, but I understand that estimates have been published in the "Engineering and Mining Journal "of New York which put the value of the world's output of gold in 1915 at about £96,400,000, of which about £59,000,000 was produced in the British Empire, £20,300,000 in the United States, and £17,100,000 elsewhere.
