HC Deb 24 February 1930 vol 235 c1858
54. Mr. C. WILLIAMS

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department what is the aggregate total of British exports to Mexico for the year 1929?

Mr. GILLETT

As stated on page 125 of the Accounts relating to Trade and Navigation of the United Kingdom for January, the total declared value of the produce and manufactures of Great Britain and Northern Ireland exported during the year 1929, which were registered as consigned to Mexico, amounted to £2,537,652.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Is the Minister doing anything to increase this amount?

Mr. GILLETT

Did the hon. Member ask me if it was an increase? It is a decrease on the previous year.

Mr. WILLIAMS

I beg the hon. Gentleman's pardon. I asked the hon. Gentleman if he was doing anything to try and get the amount increased to-day?

Mr. GILLETT

The matter certainly shall receive our consideration.
