§ Sir C. CAYZERasked the President of the Board of Trade the total value of completely-manufactured goods imported 44W into this country during 1929 and the classification of the goods making up this total; an approximate estimate of the number of people employed for 12 months 45W in the manufacture of these goods; and the total value of completely-manufactured goods exported to and imported from Germany during 1929?
§ Mr. W. GRAHAMThe total value of articles classed as wholly or mainly manufactured which were imported into the United Kingdom during 1929 was £334,382,000. This figure does not include non-dutiable articles imported through the parcel post (nearly £8,000,000 in 1929) or manufactured food, drink and tobacco. The issue for December, 1929, of the "Accounts relating to Trade and Navigation of the United Kingdom "contains specific information regarding a large number of the classes of goods included in the total value named, and further particulars will be published, in due course, in the Annual Statement of Trade for 1929. I am unable to give any estimate of the number of persons employed in the manufacture of these goods. The total value of goods consigned from Germany which were imported into the United Kingdom in 1929 was £68,790,000, the total value of British produce and manufactures exported
