2. Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTE

asked the President of the Board of Trade the amount of wrapping paper imported into this country during the months of March, 1925 and 1926?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

The imports of packing wrapping paper (excluding tissue paper) in March, 1925, amounted to 405,142 cwts., and in March, 1926, to 475,960 cwts.

Lieut. - Colonel ACLAND-TROYTE

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

Yes.

Mr. HARRIS
