§ Q21. Sir R. Russellasked the Prime Minister if he is aware that the pictorial diagram of trees showing the growth of exports on page 10 of the shortened version of the White Paper, Command Paper No. 4715, is misleading in that the area of the larger tree on the left-hand side is about 40 times that of the smaller one, whereas the true comparison is 6.3 times, and should be shown by single lines of equal width as on the previous page; and if he will have the diagram corrected.
§ The Prime MinisterThis is a simple pictorial diagram illustrating the comparative figures of the growth of exports which are printed over the tree symbols. The comparison of growth is made by height264W and not by the area of the tree symbols, which are of irregular and different shapes.
