§ Mr. KINGasked the President of the Board of Trade the quantity and value of ammunition, cartridges, and gunpowder shipped from British ports to Iquitos and Manaos, respectively, in the years 1907, 1908, 1909, 1910, and 1911; and 1506W whether any of these shipments, and, if so, what amount, were for the Peruvian Amazon Company?
Mr. BUXTONNo official information is available with regard to the exports from the United Kingdom to the two ports in question, exports to Brazil and Peru being recorded only under the countries of destination and not under the individual ports at which the goods are actually unloaded. The Peruvian official returns show imports of ammunition, gunpowder and cartridges into the ports of Iquitos from the United Kingdom to the value of about £6,700 in 1910, but no corresponding figures are available for other years.
