Mr. W. GRAHAM

Information relating to the imports, exports, and re-exports during each of the years 1924–28 of articles liable to Silk, Artificial Silk, "McKenna" and Safeguarding Duties is contained in the OFFICIAL EEPORT for 27th February, 1929. As promised in reply to a question by the hon. Member for Moseley (Mr. Hannon) on 23rd July last, similar details with regard to 1929 are being prepared, and they will be circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT as soon as they are available. Particulars of goods liable on importation to Key Industry Duties are not included in the table referred to, and, so far as concerns such goods manufactured in the United Kingdom, complete particulars of exports are not available. Information regarding the imports and re-exports of these classes of goods will, however, be included in the statement to which I have referred.
