§ 36. Mr. Noel-Bakerasked the President of the Board of Trade what is the total value of the Japanese imports of all kinds purchased by His Majesty's Government Departments during the last six calendar months?
Mr. StanleyI regret that I am not in possession of the information asked for, as the trade returns of the United Kingdom do not separately distinguish imports on Government account.
§ 39. Mr. H. G. Williamsasked the President of the Board of Trade what was the quantity and value of the imports of artificial silk gloves during the first 11 months of 1937, showing the countries of origin?
Mr. StanleyI regret that the information asked for by my hon. Friend is not available, as imports of artificial silk gloves are not separately recorded in the trade returns of the United Kingdom.
