HC Deb 30 April 1923 vol 163 c997W
Mr. HANCOCK

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India how many bales of cotton were grown in India in the year 1921–1922; how many of those bales came into the United Kingdom; and how those figures compare with trade of the previous year.?

Earl WINTERTON

It is impossible to say how many of the bales grown in India in a particular year came into the United Kingdom; but the hon. Member will probably like to have the following figures:

Bales grown in India in 1920–1921 3,600,000
Bales grown in India in 1921–1922 4,464,000
Bales exported from India to United Kingdom in 1920–1921 96,006
Bales exported from India to United Kingdom in 1921–1922 35,784
