§ 4. Mr. W. BAKERasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he can state the amount of coal exported each year from India from 1920 to 1924, inclusive?
§ Earl WINTERTONThe total exports of coal from British India during each 1053 of the calendar years 1920 to 1924 are as follows:
These figures do not include foreign coal re-exported from India.
Tons. 1920 1,222,517 1921 273,648 1922 76,479 1923 136,559 1924 205,518
§ Mr. BAKERCan the Noble Lord say how much of this coal is going to markets hitherto supplied by this country?
§ Earl WINTERTONObviously, I should have notice of that question. Perhaps the hon. Member will put a question on this point down on the Order Paper.
