§ Mr. HEPWORTHasked the President of the Board of Trade if he can give any indication as to the extent to which recent trade agreements have resulted in increased British textile exports during the past three months?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to the hon. Member for Royton (Mr. Sutcliffe) on 7th November, a copy of which I am sending him. The increase in exports of cotton piece goods to Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Iceland referred to in that answer applies generally to exports of textiles during recent months to the three first-named countries. Particulars of exports of such goods to Iceland are not readily available.
