§ Earl WINTERTONasked the President of the Board of Trade if he would give instructions for a Return to be published each month in the Board of Trade Labour Gazette giving, respectively, the number of persons applying for employment at the various Labour Bureaux and the number of cases in which such applications had been successful?
Mr. BUXTONThe question as to the method, form, and frequency of publication of statistics relative to the operations of Labour Exchanges is at present under consideration.
§ Earl WINTERTONCan the right hon. Gentleman say when the figures for the first month will be available? They are very important.
Mr. BUXTONIt is rather early to ask for statistics until the Exchanges are in full working order, but I have the matter under consideration.
