§ Mr. MANDERasked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs, with reference to the statistics given on pages 5 and 6 of the Report of the Empire Marketing Board, published June, 1930, if there were any cases of imports into the United Kingdom from the Empire in 1929 coming within the scope of the work of the Board which showed a falling off as against previous records; and, if so, whether he will give particulars of these?
§ Mr. LUNNThe Report in question mentioned 18 cases in which information available when the Report was prepared showed that all previous records had been surpassed in 1929. The Board's activities include a very wide range of foodstuffs, and the list is doubtless incomplete. But, broadly speaking, it may be assumed that the importation of foodstuffs not mentioned in the list did not surpass in 1929 their previous record year's importation.
