HC Deb 14 October 1915 vol 74 cc1507-8W
Mr. PETO

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can give the total imports of raw cocoa for each year, 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913, and 1914, and the imports of preparations of cocoa and cocoa butter in the same years, stating the quantities, separately, from each country of origin; and if he can give the corresponding figures in each case for the eight months to end of August or nine months to end of September for the years 1914 and 1915?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

Particulars relating to the imports into this country of the articles specified during the years 1910–1914 are given on pages 221 and 222 and 237 and 238 of Volume I. of the "Annual Statement of the Trade of the United Kingdom" for the year 1914, a copy of which I am sending to the hon. Member. The corresponding particulars for the first nine months of the years 1914 and 1915 will take some time to compile, but I will forward a statement to the hon. Member as soon as it is completed.
