§ 14. Viscount ELMLEYasked the President of the Board of Trade how many barrels of herrings were exported to Russia in 1928 and 1929, respectively; and whether this amount for 1929 is likely to be increased this year?
§ Mr. W. GRAHAMThe exports of herrings registered as consigned to the Soviet Union (Russia) during the years 1928 and 1929 amounted to 104,200 cwts. and 33,000 cwts. respectively. During the first three months of this year the quantity exported (182,300 cwts.) has already exceeded that recorded for either of those complete years. It is believed that the quantities consigned direct to the Soviet Union do not represent the whole of the herrings from the United Kingdom that reach that country.
