§ Mr. FOOTasked the President of the Board of Trade what were the imports of domestic aluminium hollow-ware articles in the years 1921, 1922, and 1923, respectively; and what was the amount of duty collected in each year from those of German origin?
Mr. GRAHAMThe values of the imports of domestic aluminium hollow-ware for the years 1921, 1922 and 1923 are, respectively, £147,434, £267,523 and £70,995. The depreciated currency duty collected in respect of domestic aluminium hollow-ware of German origin during the years 1922 and 1923 amounted to £5,801 and £20,999 respectively. As the hon. Member is no doubt aware, the duty only became chargeable as from the 23rd August, 1922.
