asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state the total quantity and value of (1) flour, (2) beet pulp, (3) oat hulls, (4) malt, (5) potatoes, (6) bacon, exported in each of the years 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934, 1935, 1936, and for the nine months ended 30th September, 1937.

The exports of flour in the year 1936 were 28 cwt. valued at £24, and in the nine months January to September, 1937, were nil.

The description "oat hulls" is not one for which separate particulars are required to be given by the official export list: the figures for the exports of the other commodities and for the other periods to which the Deputy refers are published for the years 1931 to 1934 in Trade and Shipping Statistics, 1934 (P. No. 1807); for the year 1935 in Trade and Shipping Statistics, 1935 (P. No. 2215); for the year 1936, and January to September, 1937, in Monthly Trade Statistics for December, 1936, and September, 1937.
