HC Deb 19 March 1918 vol 104 c812
49. Mr. PENNEFATHER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will correct misunderstandings arising out of recent Ministerial statements on the subject by giving the total reduction in the weight of all imports for 1917 as compared with 1916?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The statements to which my hon. Friend refers had relation, as was clearly stated, to imports in British ships only, and did not include neutral tonnage.
