Mr. BYLES

asked the President of the Board of Trade when the first census of the Census of Production Act would be issued?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. H. J. Tennant)

It is expected that preliminary figures relating to eight of the more important industries, employing over two million persons, will be published in the course of a few weeks. The remainder of the information will be published as rapidly as the nature of the work permits.
