HC Deb 22 June 1903 vol 124 cc69-70
MR. SEYMOUR ORMSBY-GORE (Lincolnshire, Gainsborough)

On behalf of the hon. Member for South-West Manchester I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether his attention has been called to the fact that the Statistical Abstract for 1902 is out of print; and whether it is intended to reprint it; and, if so, how soon it will be in the hands of Members.

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. ELLIOT,) Durham

Owing to an unusual demand for the Statistical Abstract of the United Kingdom (published in 1902), the Paper is now out of print. I am informed that a reprint has been ordered, and that a further supply, available on application by Members who have not already received copies, will be printed and ready for issue not later than Thursday next.
