Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will supply complete half-yearly figures of production, prices, imports, and exports for the years 1927 to 1929, inclusive, in respect of that part of the button industry the products of which are, on importation, liable to duty?

Mr, W. GRAHAM

Complete figures of the production of buttons are not available. Particulars furnished by the British Button Manufacturers' Association that for lace of artificial silk are not available, as such exports were not separately recorded prior to 1st July, 1925.
