HC Deb 18 May 1938 vol 336 c410W
Mr. Riley

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state the value of rugs and blankets, respectively, exported from Great Britain to Africa for the years 1935, 1936, and 1937, and the corresponding exports to Africa from Germany?

Mr. Cross

The following table shows the declared value of the undermentioned descriptions of rugs and blankets of United Kingdom manufacture consigned to certain countries in Africa during each of the years 1935, 1936 and 1937.

the facilities provided by the Anglo-German Payments Agreement for payment for United Kingdom goods exported to Germany cannot be applied to foreign casings re-exported from the United Kingdom unless they have undergone some process of manufacture in this country.
