§ Mr. Lubbockasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will state the moving annual total of imports of chemical elements and compounds (Division 51) to the end of May 1967, and the comparable figure for the calendar year 1965; and if he will list 198W the items under this heading which show an increase, giving in each case the value of the imports in the respective periods.
§ Mr. JayImports of chemical elements and compounds in the year to May, 1967 were £131 million and in 1965 were £120 million, cif. To list the imports of the individual items within these totals for the two periods would be a considerable exercise and I will write to the hon. Member.
