HC Deb 01 March 1927 vol 203 cc186-7
8. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will state the total value of British exports to China for the last three months of 1926 and the figures for the last three months of 1925?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

The value of the exports of British produce and manufactures consigned to China was £3,240,000 in the last three months of 1925, and £2,570,000 in the last three months of 1926. The figures are given in the accounts relating to Trade and Navigation of the United Kingdom for January, 1927.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Can the right hon. Gentleman state the reason for the falling off in exports?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I should think it is through the unsettled condition of China.
