95. Mr. HAZLETON

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in the published accounts relating to the trade and navigation of the United Kingdom, Table B, Shipping (Foreign Trade), includes British or Foreign shipping engaged on the import and export of munitions of war?

Mr. PRETYMAN

The table includes all vessels bringing cargo to or taking cargo from the United Kingdom, whatever the nature of the cargo may be, other than vessels engaged on Government service which, except in a few special cases, are not included in the table.
