§ 74. Mr. BOLANDasked the President of the Board of Trade whether proposals for standardising commercial statistics have been placed before him; whether he has considered the possibility of publishing the statistics of the new census of production in such a way as to form the basis for an international standard of commercial statistics; and, if so, whether he will co-operate with the statistical branch of the Irish Department of Agriculture in order to secure that the Irish portion of the census of production may be published in this form?
Mr. BUXTONI am afraid that, in an answer in this House, it is not possible to deal adequately with the question as put by my hon. Friend. If, however, he will call at the Board of Trade, the officials will be glad to discuss the matter with him.
