Mr. M. MacPherson
asked the President of the Board of Trade what was the total amount of steel exported to Canada in 1949; and what was the total amount exported in 1950.
Mr. Bottomley
I am not sure what my hon. Friend would include in the term "steel," but United Kingdom exports to Canada of iron and steel as defined in Group 111C of the Trade Returns together with axles, tyres and wheels for railway rolling stock from Group 1115 were 242,000 tons in 1950, compared with 79,000 tons in 1949.
