§ 91. Mr. Fisherasked the President of the Board of Trade what yardage of Japanese textile material has been imported into this country, and re-exported as British, in the last 12 months.
§ Mr. LowImports of cloth of all types from Japan in the 12 months ended September, 1955, were 92 million square yards, nearly all of cotton and rayon. Of this quantity, about one-half was imported against orders from the Colonies for processing and re-export and about one-half under the provisions of the United Kingdom trade and payments arrangements with Japan, virtually all of which was also for re-export.
