HC Deb 15 June 1925 vol 185 c11
31. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what proportion of the 33.17 per cent. of the imports into Iraq, stated to be from the United Kingdom, consist of Government stores for the use of the British forces in Iraq, and what proportion is for the canteens supplying Government offices and officials?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

I am not in possession of sufficiently detailed information to enable me to reply to this question. The High Commissioner for Iraq is being consulted, and I will inform the hon. and gallant Member when the information is available.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Can the hon. Gentleman state whether this 33.17 per cent. did include imported Government stores? Has he that information?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

I cannot state definitely at the moment, but I do not think so.
