§ 68. Miss HORSBRUGHasked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Departments if he can state the amount of jute bacon-wrappers bought from the United Kingdom by Poland, Holland, and Denmark, respectively, during the last nine months; and what increase, if any, this 924 is in each case over the amount bought during the similar period of the previous year?
§ Dr. BURGINI regret that the published statistics do not give separate particulars of the exports of jute bacon wrappers from the United Kingdom as distinct from other jute sacks and bags, but I have asked our commercial diplomatic officers in Poland, Holland and Denmark to endeavour to obtain the required figures.
§ Miss HORSBRUGHIn the Trade Agreements with those countries will my hon. Friend press for imports to be imported into the United Kingdom in United Kingdom wrappers?
§ Dr. BURGINThat matter will be borne in mind.
§ Mr. REMERIs the Parliamentary Secretary aware that an order was recently placed with the Co-operative Wholesale Society in this country and that that society supplied the goods from foreign firms?
