§ MR. BOWLESI bog to ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will state why the Statistical Abstract for the United Kingdom, which, in 1905 was issued in August, and has usually been issued soon after that month in other years, has this year not yet been issued.
§ THE PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY TO THE BOARD OF TRADE (Sir H. KEARLEY,) DevonportThe issue of the Statistical Abstract for the United Kingdom has been somewhat delayed with a view to the inclusion of certain additional information respecting the expenditure, by local authorities, on account of particular services. The volume is now practically ready for press and it is intended to issue it within the next fortnight.
