Mr. WHITE

asked the President of the Board of Trade what were the imports into the United Kingdom of cutlery in 1924 and during each of the years in which Safeguarding Duties on this article were in operation; and what were our corresponding exports during each of these same periods?

Mr. W. GRAHAM

As regards the imports and exports of cutlery of dutiable kinds during the years 1924 to 1929, I would refer the hon. Member to the statements circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT for 27th February, 1929 (columns 1995–6 and 2007–8) and 17th April, 1930 (columns 3123–4 and 3129–30). I am having similar particulars for 1930 compiled in respect of the various commodities covered in the previous tables, and will circulate them in the OFFICIAL REPORT as soon as possible.
