§ Mr. NORTON-GRIFFITHSasked the President of the Board of Trade whether all the figures given in the Consular Reports to his Department dealing with the trade between this country and foreign countries are published; and, if not, what is the deciding factor in arriving at the figures to be omitted?
§ Sir E. GREYThe Annual Consular Reports are revised by the Foreign Office and the Beard of Trade, and the general principle adopted is that only those trade statistics are omitted which are obviously redundant or are of practically no significance to British traders.
