asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can give any information in regard to the export of canned herring and other fish products to the United States prior to 1914?

Exports of canned herring were not separately recorded in the trade returns of the United Kingdom prior to the year 1920, but the hon. Member will find such information as is available of the exports and re-exports of fish to the United States during each year 1909 to 1913 on pages 354 to 357 and 545 to 547 of Volume I of the "Annual Statement of the Trade of the United Kingdom" for 1913.
