§ Mr. MARKHAMasked the President of the Board of Trade how many tons of wheat were imported from France during 1929 and 1930; what was the amount of bounty paid per ton; and whether the sale price of such wheat in this country was less than production cost?
§ Mr. W. GRAHAMThe total quantity of wheat (grain) imported into Great Britain and Northern Ireland, registered during the year 1929 and the first 10 months of 1930 as consigned from France was 1,214 tons and 205,361 tons, respectively. The rate of the duty refund varied from time to time but was always less than the import duty. I have no definite information regarding the cost of production of the wheat imported from France.
