56. Mr. T. TAYLOR

asked the President of the Board of Trade what was the amount and value of British-made cocaine exported abroad during the year 1915; and whether the amount is higher than in any previous year?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

17,647 ounces of British-made cocaine and cocaine salts, valued at £5,719, were exported from the United Kingdom to all destinations in 1915. These exports were greater than in any year since 1911, the year in which such exports were first separately recorded.
