§ 2. Mr. GRAHAM WHITEasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs if any communication has been received by the Government from His Majesty's Government in Canada relative to the preference to Dominion wheat being extended to consignments passing through the United States; and, if so, what reply has been made?
The SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. J. H. Thomas)The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The second part does not therefore arise.
§ 9. Mr. WHITEasked the President of the Board of Trade the amount of Canadian wheat imported to this country from United States ports and the total imports of Canadian wheat into this country for each of the crop seasons ended 31st July, 1930, 1931 and 1932?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Runciman)The precise information asked for is not available. The only particulars recorded of imports into the United Kingdom of wheat of Canadian origin relate to the year 1931, when suet imports amounted to 29,595,685 cwts. During the same year imports of wheat registered as consigned from the United States exceeded the imports of wheat of United States origin by 2,306,282 cwts., this balance representing presumably wheat of Canadian origin.
