§ 57. Mr. HERBERT WILLIAMSasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the value of the carpets imported in January, 1932, from foreign countries which paid duty, and the value on which duty was not then paid because the carpets were placed in bond?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Major Elliot)Figures are available only in respect of carpets, carpeting and rugs made wholly or partly of wool or jute. The value of such carpets, etc., which were imported from foreign countries during January, 1932, and cleared direct for home use on payment of the duty was £4,275. The value of similar carpets, etc., imported during that month and placed in bonded warehouse was £100,732.

§ Major ELLIOTI will consider that matter.
