On behalf of the hon. Member for Darlington I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade what was the average exportation in the three years ending 1903 and 1906 of refined sugar, sugar goods (confectionery, jams, etc.), and mineral waters respectively.
I will have the information asked for printed in the, Votes.
The following is the information printed in the Votes: —The quantities exported were as follows:
to ask the President of the Board of Trade if he can give particulars as to the remission of Suez Canal dues by the Austrian Government on Austrian shipping passing through the canal; what is the total amount of the dues remitted in a recent year; and what proportion this bears to the total which such shipping would have had to pay had there been no remission.
The Board of Trade will take steps to procure the information desired by the hon. Member.
