HC Deb 17 December 1935 vol 307 cc1533-4
41. Mr. RILEY

asked the President of the Board of Trade the quantity and value of all kinds of coal exported from Great Britain to Italy for the month of November in 1933, 1934, and 1935, respectively?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The desired information is given on page 129 of the issue of the Trade and Navigation Accounts for November.

Mr. RILEY

Are the Government considering or taking any steps to prevent the exportation of coal to Italy until she has ceased to invade Abyssinia?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The hon. Member had better put that question on the Paper.

Mr. H. G. WILLIAMS

Is the quadrupled export of coal to Egypt really destined for Italy?

42. Mr. RILEY

asked the President of the Board of Trade the total value of imports and exports between Great Britain and Italy for the month of November in 1933, 1934, and 1935, respectively?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The particulars for November, 1935, will not be available until next week, and as soon as they are ready I will send the hon. Member the information for which he asks.
