asked the President of the Board of Trade the average yearly value of our manufactured exports during 1911, 1912, and 1913; and the average yearly percentage of the same which went to Russia?

During the years specified in the question the average declared value of commodities (the produce and manufacture of the United Kingdom) registered as exported yearly to all destinations, which were classed in our Trade Accounts as wholly or mainly manufactured, amounted to £386,206,000.
