Sir A. Herbert

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the extent to which the horse-breeding industry assisted the export trade in the year 1947.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

On the basis of the figures available for the first nine months of 1947, the total exports of British horses to all destinations amounted to about £3 million a year. The actual figure for the calendar year, as published in the Trade and Navigation Accounts for December, 1947, was £2,905,244. This total includes temporary exports, for which separate information is not available.
