§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Runciman)As the answer includes a number of figures I am circulating it in the OFFICIAL REPORT, but as regards the figures for 1934 I am giving the recorded values, since no accurate calculation on a gold basis is practicable and any estimate made would have no significance in relation to the figures for the earlier years.
§ Following is the answer:
§ The declared value of the exports and re-exports of merchandise from the United Kingdom during the years 1929, 1931 and 1934, was as follows:
