§ 2. Mr. Gibson-Wattasked the President of the Board of Trade the value of exports from the United Kingdom of pedigree livestock, under the various categories, for 1954 and 1955.
§ Mr. P. ThorneycroftPedigree livestock are not distinguished as such in the Trade Accounts. With permission, I will circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT figures of exports of livestock classified as "for breeding".
§ Mr. Gibson-WattWhile thanking my right hon. Friend for that Answer, might I ask if, when he produces those figures, he can also give me some idea as to what percentage of the figures finds its way directly to the coffers of the Treasury as a result of these valuable exports?
§ Mr. ThorneycroftI can give the figures in sterling for the particular exports, and can show the comparison between the two years. Perhaps my hon. Friend will look at the figures, and if he wants any more information I will try to let him have it.
§ Following are the figures:
| — | 1954 | 1955 |
| United Kingdom exports | £ | £ |
| Animals for breeding | ||
| Bulls | 557,004 | 595,224 |
| Cows | 290,952 | 281,387 |
| Calves | 12,079 | * |
| Sheep and lambs | 44,225 | |
| Swine | 121,849 | |
| * Not separately distinguished in 1955. |
