Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

Pending the completion of the census of production, I am unable to estimate the total production of steel manufactures in the United Kingdom. For particulars of the production of certain classes of steel manufactures. I would refer the hon. Member to the statistics published by the National Federation of Iron and Steel Manufacturers. Full details of the exports of iron and steel and manufactures thereof in the year 1924 are contained in Volume III of the Annual Statement of Trade of the United Kingdom, which has just been published, and less detailed particulars are published in the monthly trade accounts.
