asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give the oil production of Great Britain, Trinidad, Egypt and Mexico, and cost per ton of production in each case, for the year 1921?

Exact information with regard to the production in Great Britain in 1921 is not available, but it is computed that the total production of crude petroleum was approximately 140,000 tons. The quantity produced in Trinidad was 334,000 tons, in Egypt 190,000 tons, and in Mexico 38,000,000 tons. I regret that I am unable to state the cost of production.
