asked the Minister of Economic Warfare whether he will inform the House of the volume and value of oil and oil-product exported by the United States to Russia, Germany, and various European neutral countries since the beginning of the war, compared with the figures for the corresponding pre-war period?

As the official monthly trade returns of the United States do not show exports of individual commodities except cotton by countries of destination, I regret that I am unable to give the figures desired by the hon. Member.
