HC Deb 08 December 1953 vol 521 c201W
46. Mr. P. Roberts

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many dollars have been expended in 1953 up to the beginning of December on the purchase of Canadian barley.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I cannot give more detailed information about our balance of payments than is published in the periodical Command Papers. The recorded c.i.f. value of imports of barley into the United Kingdom from Canada in the first 10 months of 1953 was £13.3 million.
