§ Mr. LIVINGSTONEasked the President of the Board of Trade the quantity of finished wallpaper imported into this country from Canada and Germany, respectively, for the years 1913 and 1924; and the total quantities of finished wall paper imported into this country for the same years?
Mr. SAMUELThe following statement gives the information desired so far as the particulars are available:
Country whence consigned 1913 1924 Printed paper Hangings Printed and Embossed paper Hangings Cwts. Cwts. Total Imports from all sources 57,304 70,486 Of which con signed from: Canada 2 6,361 Germany 38,210 47,781 The particulars for 1913 relate to imports into Great Britain and Ireland: those for 1924 relate to Great Britain and Northern Ireland only.
Owing to changes in the classification which became operative in 1920, the particulars for 1924 are not strictly comparable with those for 1913.
