Census of Production —Proposed Inclusion of Agricultural Products.

HC Deb 28 June 1906 vol 159 cc1140-1

MR. BECK (Cambridgeshire, Wisbech)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider the advisability of including agricultural produce in the Census of Production Bill.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE,) Carnarvon Boroughs

I am in communication with the President of the Board of Agriculture on the subject. My impression is that much of the information with regard to agricultural production which would be required for the Census is already collected by the Board of Agriculture.
