§ 9. Sir JOHN WARDLAW - MILNEasked the President of the Board of Trade, if he will give the figures of the imports from and exports to the United States of America for the last 10 months in comparison with the last 10 month; of each of the previous two years, differentiating between raw materials and manufactured goods?
§ Dr. BURGINI regret that the desired information is not available. Separate particulars of our trade in raw materials and manufactured goods with individual countries are compiled in respect of calendar years only.
§ Sir J. WARDLAW-MILNECannot my hon. Friend supply me, through the medium of the OFFICIAL REPORT, with the latest figures available? These figures are of great importance at the present time?
§ Dr. BURGINI have the figures for the first nine months of 1930, 1931, and 1932, and perhaps I might supply them privately in the first place.
§ Sir J. WARDLAW-MILNEWill the hon. Gentleman tell the House if there is not a very large trade balance in manufactured goods in favour of the United States
§ Dr. BURGINI could not do that without notice.
§ Sir ARTHUR MICHAEL SAMUELDo the figures differentiate between goods which are manufactured in the United States, assembled in Canada, and sent here as British Imperial goods, and those marked with the country of origin?
§ Dr. BURGINI think not.
