HC Deb 06 December 1927 vol 211 cc1158-9
20. Colonel WOODCOCK

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give the monthly Returns of Imports for the present year, to the latest month available, of tobacco from Rhodesia, Nyasaland and Canada, and the corresponding monthly figures for the last two years?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I am having particulars extracted from the official records, and will circulate them in the OFFICIAL REPORT when they are available.

Colonel WOODCOCK

Can the right hon. Gentleman tell me whether the figures for last year were in excess of those of the previous years?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

When I have the figures, which are being got out for the official return, I shall be better able to draw a deduction.
