HC Deb 15 November 1948 vol 458 cc13-4W
Mr. N. Macpherson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer where declarations regarding the same goods for export are supplied from two or more sources, as, for example, from manufacturer, decorator and exporter, what steps are taken to ensure that there is no repetition in the statistics.

Sir S. Cripps

I assume that the hon. Member refers to the statistics of exports in the monthly Trade and Navigation Accounts and the Annual Statement of Trade of the United Kingdom. Adequate precautions are taken to guard against repetition in these statistics.
