HC Deb 15 June 1939 vol 348 c1529W
Captain A. Graham

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will state the volume and value of shipments to the United Kingdom from Tientsin, Tsingtao and Chefoo, for the three years ended 1st June, 1939, 1st June, 1938, and 1st June, 3937; and the proportion of the cargoes in each year carried in British ships and Japanese bottoms, respectively?

Mr. Stanley

I regret that the desired information is not available, as particulars of trade in respect of the individual ports mentioned in the question are not given in either the United Kingdom or the Chinese trade returns.
