HC Deb 19 June 1924 vol 174 c2325
76. Sir L. LYLE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether there has been any increase, and, if so, how great, of German imports into this country since the modification of the Reparations Duty?

Mr. ALEXANDER

The values of imports since the beginning of the present year, registered as consigned from Germany, have been as follow:

£
In January … … 2,450,000
In February … … 2,145,000
In March … … 2,136,000
In April … … 2,220,000
From these figures, it does not appear that imports from Germany have increased since the modification of the German reparation levy. Particulars of imports from Germany during May are not yet available.
