HC Deb 23 November 1908 vol 196 cc1781-2
MR. FELL

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if his attention has been called to a Memorandum published by the Washington Department of Commerce and Labour on American wages and the retail price of food; and if he can obtain a copy of this Memorandum for use in the Library.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. CHURCHILL,) Dundee

I presume that the hon. Member has in mind two articles which appeared in the Bulletin of the United States Bureau of Labour for July last, of which one relates to "Wages and Hours of Labour, 1890–1907," and the other to "Retail Prices of Food, 1890–1907." I will have a copy of the publication placed in the Library as the hon. Member desires.

MR. C. E. PRICE (Edinburgh, Central)

Cannot a synopsis of the Report be published in the Labour Gazette?

MR. JOHN WARD (Stoke-on-Trent)

It has already been done.
