§ Mr. G. Williamsasked the President of the Board of Trade what is the value of feedingstuffs that have been exported from this country; and the estimated value of food that has been received in return, during the year 1948.
§ Mr. BottomleyThe value of feeding-stuffs exported from this country in 1948 was £301,000, of which exports to the Channel Islands totalled £169,000. No rationed feedingstuffs were exported other than to the Channel Islands, the principal exports to other destinations consisting of dicalcium phosphate and straw. It is not possible to give a figure in answer to the second part of the Question as the exports of feedingstuffs were not conditional on the receipt of food in return.
