HC Deb 29 July 1930 vol 242 c250
10. Mr. DOUGLAS HACKING

asked the President of the Board of Trade the quantity and value of Russian timber imported into this country during the month of June?

Mr. W. GRAHAM

The total value of the imports into the United Kingdom of wood and timber registered as consigned from the Soviet Union (Russia) during the month of June, 1930, was £765,141. In quantity, these imports amounted to 52,627 cubic feet of hard wood, sawn, and 214,718 loads of other wood.

Mr. HACKING

Is it not a fact that the White Sea was frozen over for part of that time; otherwise, the figures would have been very much larger?

Mr. GRAHAM

My right hon. Friend must give me notice of that frost.
