asked the President of the Board of Trade the total amount of exports in coal and goods of all kinds from the United Kingdom to the Irish Free State during 1931, 1932, 1933 and the first six months of 1934?

The declared value of the aggregate exports of merchandise from the United Kingdom to the Irish Free State during each of the last three years is given in Tables XI and XII of the issue for January last of the "Accounts relating to Trade and Navigation of the United Kingdom." The corresponding particulars for the first six months of 1934 will be published in the issue of these accounts for July. As regards coal, the desired information will be found in the issues for December, 1933, and June, 1934.

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when the report up to the the end of June will be obtainable?

I cannot say without notice, but I hope very shortly.
