Mr. Parkin
asked the President of the Board of Trade what quantities of tobacco were imported from separate European countries in 1933, 1938 and 1946, and what quantities are to be imported this year; and what proportion of Balkan tobacco is now blended into popular brands of cigarettes.
Mr. Belcher
I cannot say what proportion of Balkan tobacco is used in any particular brand of cigarette. Following are the figures asked for in the first part of the Question:an export market outlet, for over three months.
Mr. Bottomley
No estimate can be made of the quantities of goods awaiting shipment for a period of three months or more.
