§ Lieut.-Colonel Moore-Brabazonasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the exports of war material from the United States of America to Japan during 1937 and 1938 exceeded 325,000,000 dollars; and what was the corresponding figure of war material exported from the British Isles during 1937 and 1938?
§ Mr. CrossAs it is not possible to distinguish the exports of materials for the manufacture of armaments from those for other purposes, I am unable to confirm the figure quoted in the question or to furnish corresponding particulars of exports from the United Kingdom to Japan.
