§ Mr. O. LEWISasked the President of the Board of Trade the quantity of wheat and of flour imported into this country from France during the week ended 1st March; and whether such wheat and flour has had the benefit of any drawback or subsidy, direct or indirect?
§ Mr. W. R. SMITH192,596 cwts. of wheat and 88,923 cwts. of wheat meal and flour imported into the United Kingdom and consigned from France were registered during the week ended 1st March. These figures are probably in excess of the quantities that actually arrived at United Kingdom ports during the week in question; these arrivals are not recorded. As regards the second part of the question, I have no information whether any refund of duty was made in connection with the above quantities of wheat and flour.
