HC Deb 15 February 1927 vol 202 c722
4. Sir NICHOLAS GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the President of the Board of Trade what were the imports of Russian petrol last year and whether there was an increase over the imports for the year 1925; and what were the imports of Russian kerosene last year and what, if any, increase there was over those of 1925?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

The answer contains a table of figures, and my hon. Friend will perhaps agree that this should be circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

The figures are as follow:

Imports into the United Kingdom consigned from Russia:

1925. 1926.
Gallons. Gallons.
Motor spirit (petrol) 33,111,263 55,217,069
Lamp oil (kerosene) 15,796,350 37,494,534
