HC Deb 19 December 1916 vol 88 c1298
54. Mr. DEVLIN

asked whether the Report on the Belfast linen trade which appears monthly in the "Board of Trade Gazette" is entirely the composition of the Board of Trade correspondent, or whether it is the joint production of the correspondent and an official of the Board of Trade who collates and summarises the information supplied direct to the Board by the employers in Belfast?

Mr. ROBERTS

All the information in regard to employment in various trades, whether supplied to the Board of Trade direct or through its local correspondent, is collated and summarised in the Department before publication in the "Labour Gazette."
