42. Major GLYN

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many typewriters were imported into Great Britain during the 12 months ending 31st December, 1925; and what is the estimated annual output of typewriters made in this country?

Mr. A. M. SAMUEL

76,246 complete typewriters were recorded as imported into the United Kingdom in the year 1925, and 8,606 imported typewriters were exported in that year. I am sorry we have not the figures which would provide the estimated annual production of typewriters in this country.
