As the answer involves a number of figures, I will circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the answer:

The following table shows the total declared value of merchandise imported into and exported from the United Kingdom in the foreign trade at ports in South Wales during the years 1930 and 1931. The corresponding figures for 1932 are not yet available and particulars regarding the countries of consignment of the goods entered or cleared at individual ports are not compiled. Figures of the aggregate tonnage of imports and exports at ports in South Wales cannot be stated.
