§ 106. Mr. W. Shepherdasked the President of the Board of Trade what were the figures, expressed in sterling, for the exports for the first year of trading after the 1914–18 war and the figures for the first year of trading after the end of the European war.
§ Mr. MarquandThe recorded value of exports was £799 million in 1919 and 597 million in the 12th months ended May, 1946. To allow for trade with Eire being internal in 1919, an addition of roughly 5 per cent. should be made to the figure for that year.
