HC Deb 11 June 1953 vol 516 c24W
24. Mr. Gower

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take steps to provide separate annual particulars of Welsh trade divorced from the trading returns for the whole of the United Kingdom.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

I assume that my hon. Friend is referring to the trade of Wales and Monmouthshire. No. It would not be practicable to compile separate statistics of that trade, but figures are published periodically of the trade passing through the principal Welsh ports.
