HC Deb 04 March 1930 vol 236 cc263-4W
Major COLVILLE

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he can give information as to the increased output, increased numbers employed, and increased plant in operation in the British wrapping-paper industry since the application of a Safeguarding duty on imported wrapping paper?

31st January last. The total declared value of such wood and timber was £7,491,050.

Mr. W. GRAHAM

Owing to the incomplete nature of the information available in the Department, I regret that I am unable to give the detailed figures for which the hon. and gallant Member asks. Periodical returns covering a substantial proportion of the trade have been received only since the beginning; of 1929.
