HC Deb 18 February 1948 vol 447 c232W
84. Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is yet able to indicate what is the estimated annual saving achieved up to date as a result of the restrictions on Colonial imports; and whether he can give the estimated savings for Kenya, Tanganyika, Uganda and Malaya, respectively.

Mr. Rees-Williams

I regret that it is not possible to provide such an estimate, which could only be based on guesses as to what imports would have been made in the absence of the restrictions.
