§ 15. Mr. HACKINGasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has any information to give the House regarding imports into this country from Russia of cotton yarn and manufactured piece goods?
§ Mr. W. GRAHAMThe total declared value of cotton yarns and cotton piece goods imported into Great Britain and Northern Ireland and registered as consigned from the Soviet Union (Russia) during the year 1928 amounted to £1,188. No such imports were registered during the year 1929 or during the three months ended 31st March, 1930.
§ Mr. HACKINGIs the right hon. Gentleman quite satisfied that he has full knowledge of all the goods that are imported into this country from Russia?
§ Mr. GRAHAMYes. That has been raised before. I have made inquiries through Hamburg, Warsaw, and I think other centres, and I can trace no other imports.
