HC Deb 06 April 1909 vol 3 cc1130-1W
Mr. ESSLEMONT

asked the President of the Board of Trade what has been the value of the granite imported in Scotland during each of the past ten years?

Mr. TENNANT

I am unable to give the information required, as the imports of granite were not recorded separately from those of other descriptions of stone during the period in question. The total value of "Stones, slabs, and marble rough hewn or manufactured (other than works of art)" imported into Scottish ports during each of the last ten years was as follows:—
