asked the President of the Board of Trade the value of imported bottles and of other imported glassware in the first two months of this year, and the estimated value of the home output of such articles in the same period?

The declared value of glass bottles and jars registered during the first two months of 1923 as imported into the United Kingdom was £133,248, and of other glassware, £554,855. I have no information regarding the value of the output of such articles in this country during the same period.
