36. Sir A. KNOX

asked the President of the Board of Trade what was the total value of imports of food and drink from foreign and Empire sources, respectively, in the years 1930 and 1933?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Dr. Burgin)

During the year 1930, the total declared value of articles of food and drink, including living animals for food and feeding-stuffs for animals, imported into this country from foreign countries was £283,227,000 and from British countries £176,169,000. The corresponding figures for 1933 are not yet available, but I will send them to my hon. and gallant Friend as soon as they have been compiled.
