HC Deb 01 May 1922 vol 153 c993W
Mr. MILLS

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade whether he can give, for the years 1913, 1920, and 1921, the number and value of the imports and exports to and from Great Britain of shuttles, shuttle pegs, and shuttle tips, particularising in each case the countries which exported these articles and to which they were imported?

Mr. BALDWIN

Shuttles, shuttle pegs, and shuttle tips are not separately distinguished in the trade statistics, and importers and exporters of these articles are not required to declare them separately from other textile machinery and parts thereof. I am, consequently, unable to give the desired information.
