MR. KENYON (Bury, Lancashire)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will get for the House statistics as to rates of wages paid and hours worked in the cotton, woollen, and iron (engineering and machine making) trades in France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Russia, and Japan?

MR. CURZON

I shall have much pleasure in obtaining the latest information on the subject from the countries named. The reports which Her Majesty's representatives will be instructed to make will be laid on the Table when received.
