HC Deb 10 March 1937 vol 321 cc1135-6
92. Mr. Shinwell

asked the President of the Board of Trade the value of United Kingdom exports in 1936 to those countries included in the Ottawa group, and the figure for the year 1930?

Dr. Burgin

Exports of United Kingdom goods to countries with which agreements were concluded at Ottawa were valued at £161,400,000 in 193o and £147,670,000 in 1936.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Is it not a fact that over 130,000 more men were employed last year in inter-Dominion trade than in the Ottawa year?

Dr. Burgin

I cannot give the figures without notice, but that may be so.
