§ 3. Mr. HERBERT WILLIAMSasked the President of the Board of Trade the total export of British goods during the first six months of this year and 1925, respectively, of a kind on which Customs duties were imposed during the years 1925 and 1926?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister)It is not possible to give complete figures of the exports of goods on which import duties were imposed in 1925 and 1926, since the duties are chargeable, in some cases, only on parts of the groups into which exports are classified. The identifiable exports of such goods, however, amounted, in the first half of 1925 to approximately £14,000,000, and in the first half of 1927 to approximately £15,000,000.
