HC Deb 31 May 1937 vol 324 cc689-91W
Mr. Remer

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state the number and tonnage of foreign vessels which have carried china clay between ports on the British coast during this year; the quantity of china clay carried coastwise in foreign ships between British ports in this period; and what number of foreign ships and what quantity of clay have left the port of Poole during this time?

Captain Wallace

During the four months January to April, 1937, two foreign vessels departed coastwise with cargo from Poole. I regret that the other information desired is not available.
