§ Mr. VIVIANasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give particulars showing the volume of our exports to the Argentine for the years 1913, 1921, 1922, and 1923?
Mr. WEBBSeparate calculations of the values, at 1913 prices, of exports to individual countries have not been made. In the following statement the figures showing variations in the volume of trade have been calculated on the basis of the ascertained average changes in prices of exports of United Kingdom produce to all destinations, and are probably somewhat higher than if the calculations were based on exports to the Argentine alone:—
VALUES of Exports of United Kingdom produce and manufactures consigned to the Argentine (Million £'s). — 1913. 1921. 1922. 1923. Values as declared 22.6 27.6 22.7 28.2 Approximate values on basis of 1913 prices showing variations in the volume of trade. 22.6 10.3 11.4 14.8
