§ 29. Mr. ALBERYasked the President of the Board of Trade the last available figures for a month showing the number of safety razor blades manufactured in this country; and if he will give similar figures for the corresponding month in the year before this industry was brought under the influence of safeguarding?
§ Sir B. CHADWICKI am unable to give figures of the output of safety razor blades in the United Kingdom as a whole, but, from such partial information as I have, it would appear that the output in September, 1926, was much greater than in September, 1925.
§ Mr. ALBERYCan my hon. Friend say whether, in addition to an increase in the output of safety razors in this country, there is also an export trade now in safety razors?
§ Sir B. CHADWICKI should require notice of that question.
§ Mr. HARDIEDo the figures given include blanks as razor blades?
§ Sir B. CHADWICKI cannot hear the hon. Member's question.
