§ 9. Mr. Lennox-Boydasked the President of the Board of Trade what is the estimated number of persons employed in all manufacturing industries on export orders in the years 1937 and 1938.
§ Sir S. CrippsNo information was collected before the war about the number employed on export orders, and it is, therefore, impossible to prepare any close estimate. The figure of 930,000, which has been published for mid-1939, may be taken as roughly applicable to the other years as well.
