HC Deb 25 July 1923 vol 167 c484W
Mr. HANNON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department the value of cotton textiles imported into the Argentine from Great Britain, the United States of America, and Italy, for the years ending 31st December, 1913 and 1922, respectively?

Viscount WOLMER

No particulars published by the Argentine Government, as to imports into Argentina in the year 1922, are yet available, but the statistics issued by the British and United States Governments, given below, of exports to the Argentine from the United Kingdom and the United States of America respectively, will doubtless be of interest to my hon. Friend. Corresponding figures regarding exports from Italy are not available.
