§ Captain Kerbyasked the President of the Board of Trade how much of the £50,700,000 worth of merchandise imported into Hong Kong from Japan in 1956, when 25 per cent. was added in Hong Kong to qualify it for Imperial Preference, was reimported into the United Kingdom in the year in question.
§ Sir D. EcclesThis information is not available; in order to qualify for Imperial Preference, goods must have been grown, produced or manufactured in the Commonwealth. Manufactured goods must have been made in the Commonwealth and 25 per cent., and in some cases higher proportions, of their value must be attributable to prescribed expenditure in the Commonwealth.
