Viscountess ASTORasked the First Lord of the Admiralty the total number of officers allowed in county class cruisers and H.M.S. "York" in wardroom, gunroom, and commissioned and warrant officers' mess, respectively, and the numbers of officers' stewards and officers' cooks authorised in each mess.
Mr. ALEXANDERThe following is the desired comparison:
imported into Great Britain and Northern Ireland during the year 1924 was£39,600, while for exports of cutlery of domestic manufacture the monthly average was£85,400 and for re-exports of imported cutlery£9,000. During the nine months ended 30th September, 1930, the corresponding average monthly declared values were£42,600,£75,300 and£9,600 respectively. The figures for 1924 exclude imports and 815W exports of cutlery by parcel post, while those for 1930 include imports and exports of dutiable cutlery by parcel post. I regret that I have no information as to the last part of the question.
