§ 10. Sir R. Caryasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give the total amount of tobacco leaf import into the United Kingdom since 1st January from all sources other than from Rhodesia.
§ Mr. MasonImports of unmanufactured tobacco from all sources other than Rhodesia were 184 million 1bs. in the first 10 months of this year.
§ Sir R. CaryMay I ask the hon. Gentleman if those figures show that the United States have sent to us tobacco to the value of some £20 to £30 million in the last 12 months and, at the same time imposed an additional burden on our own dollar account? Does that not raise moral aspects in regard to sanctions with United States support?
§ Mr. MasonImports of tobacco from the United States raise an entirely different question from the one on the Order Paper.
