HC Deb 17 April 1923 vol 162 c1844
3. Mr. J. HOPE SIMPSON

asked the President of the Board of Trade the amount of spirits imported into the Bahamas and Barbados in the years 1913, 1920, 1921, and 1922, respectively?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Viscount Wolmer)

The answer contains statistical tables, and perhaps the hon. Member will allow me to circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the answer:

The following statement shows the quantities of spirits imported into the Bahamas and Barbados, respectively, during each of the years specified:

Viscount WOLMER

I regret that I am unable to furnish these particulars.

Mr. SIMPSON

Is it a fact that no liquor was exported to these ports before 1922?

Viscount WOLMER

I do not think that that is accurate.
