asked the President of the Board of Trade the amount of cotton cloth exported to the United States of America between 30th September, 1921 and 31st March, 1922, and also between 30th September, 1922 and 31st March, 1923?

Sir P. LLOYD-GREAME

The answer includes some figures; and, if the hon. Member has no objection, I will have it circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the answer:

The quantities and values of cotton piece goods of domestic manufacture exported from the United Kingdom and registered as consigned to the United States amounted to 56,673,900 square yards, valued at £3,631,943, in the six months ended 31st March, 1922, and to 64,941,800 square yards, valued at £3,577,069, in the six months ended 31st March, 1923.
