Mr. WARDLAW-MILNE

asked the President of the Board of Trade the figures of the imports and exports of needles, fish-hooks, and latch-needles, respectively, for the first 10 months of this year and for corresponding periods of the previous three years?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

The following table shows, in respect of hosiery (latch) needles and other needles, respectively, the quantity and declared value of the total imports into and domestic exports from the United Kingdom during the first 10 months of 1928, 1929, 1930 and 1931. Similar particulars in respect of fish-hooks are not available, as these goods are not separately recorded in the trade returns of the United Kingdom.
