HC Deb 21 February 1933 vol 274 c1575
23. Captain CAZALET

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has any figures to show what has been the total volume and value of our export trade to Manchuria since the Japanese declaration of the independent state of Manchukuo?

Dr. BURGIN

I regret that the desired information is not available, as particulars of the trade of the United Kingdom with Manchuria are not separately recorded.

Captain CAZALET

Has there been a decrease or an increase in general trade with whatever part of China about which it is possible to get statistics since the declaration of independence of Manchukuo?

Dr. BURGIN

If the hon. and gallant Gentleman will put down a question, it may be possible to help him. The point with regard to Manchuria is that it has been partly treated as China and partly as Japan. There are no separate figures.
