§ 24. Mr. Peter Freemanasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will state the amount and the numbers of imports of furs brought into this country in each quarter of 1946; and the countries from which they were imported.
§ Sir S. CrippsAs the answer involves a special analysis of figures I will, with my hon. Friend's permission, send the particulars to him as soon as they are all ready.
§ Mr. FreemanDo not the figures indicate a very large and increasing importation of these articles, and in view of the fact that we have to pay for them in sterling does my right hon. and learned Friend not think that some curtailment is desirable?
§ Sir S. CrippsI have not the figures yet; when they are available I will send them to the hon. Member.
