19. Mr. H. WILLIAMS (for Mr. HANNON)

asked the President of the Board of Trade the total value of United Kingdom manufactured goods imported during the last 12 months into Ceylon upon which preference is granted; and the total import of manufactured goods into Ceylon during the last 12 months upon which preference is not granted?
