(2) what was the total expenditure from Exchequer funds, made both at home and abroad, in connection with the Dominions for the years 1903, 1913, 1923, and 1924; and what was the value of exports of British manufacture to the. Dominions in those years?

Mr. AMERY

I will take these questions together, as I am not sure to what precise expenditure my hon. and gallant Friend refers in the first part of each question. If he will be so good as to communicate with me, I hope that I may be able to give answers next week.
