HC Deb 13 May 1931 vol 252 c1187
49. Mr. REMER

asked the Secretary of State for India how many yards of cotton cloth were exported from Great Britain to India in the months of December, 1929, January, February, March and April, 1930?

The SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Wedgwood Benn)

I will circulate a statement containing the information for which the hon. Member asks.

Mr. REMER

As I have asked for only five figures, surely the right hon. Gentleman can give them now?

Mr. BENN

If it is the desire of the House, I will read the answer.

The number of square yards of cotton piece goods of all kinds exported from the United Kingdom to India during the periods mentioned were:

1929. Square yards.
December … … 100,964,300
1930.

February … … 134,984,500
March … … 130,761,500
April … … 84,328,600

I may add that all the figures have been published, and have been available for some time.
