§ Mr. Dayasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will give the number of licences he has granted during the six months ended to the last convenient date in connection with the exporting of munitions of war from this 1170W country; the nature and quantity of munitions; and the countries to which they were exported?
§ Dr. BurginDuring the six months ended 31st March, 1937, 169 export licences were issued in respect of war material. I regret that under present conditions it would be contrary to the public interest to disclose particulars of the nature and quantity of the material which has been licensed or the countries of destination specified in the licences.
