57. Sir WILFRID SUGDEN

asked the President of the Board of Trade what was the average landed value of the motor cars imported in the last six months of 1926; and if, for comparison, he will state the average landed value of the motor cars imported in the first six months of 1925?

Sir B. CHADWICK

The average declared value (c.i.f. British port) of the imports into Great Britain and Northern Ireland of touring cars, including cabs, was £180 each in the first six months of 1925, and £155 each in the last six months of 1926; and of commercial vehicles £190 each in the first six months of 1925, and £141 each in the last six months of 1926.

Major CRAWFURD

Will the right hon. Gentleman also give the correspond- ing figures for motor vehicles produced and sold in this country?

Sir B. CHADWICK

That does not arise out of this question.
