Mr. TURNER
asked the President of the Board of Trade what quantity of flax and timber was imported from Russia in 1913 and in 1923?
Viscount WOLMER
The reply contains a number of figures, and, if the hon. Member has no objection, I will have it circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
The following is the reply referred to:
The following statement gives the quantity of flax (including flax tow) and timber imported into the United Kingdom and registered as consigned from Russia in 1913, 1922, and the first three months of 1923:
| Flax and Flax tow. | Timber of all kinds. | |
| Tons. | Tons. | |
| 1913 | 81,577 | 5,401,604 |
| 1922 | 17,623 | 422,774 |
| 1923 (January-March) | 1 | 20,228 |
It should be noted that the particulars for 1913 relate to pre-War Russia, and those for 1922 and 1923 to post-War Russia.
