Sir G. Gibson

asked the President of the Board of Trade what were the values of wool textile machinery exported to North Africa during the 12 months to end of February, 1943, and during the 12 months to end of February, 1944; and what were the values of wood textile cloths exported to North Africa during the same two 12-monthly periods.

Mr. Johnstone

As has been previously stated, the publication of our export figures was discontinued in 1940, and, in the view of His Majesty's Government, the time has not yet come when publication should be resumed.
