HC Deb 11 April 1933 vol 276 c2354
18. Captain P. MACDONALD

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has any information to show what percentage of the imports into this country from Empire sources were carried in British or Empire-owned ships during 1931 and 1932, respectively; and whether any steps have been taken to increase this percentage during the current year?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer which I gave on the 7th March to the hon. Member for Kirkdale (Mr. Rankin).
