§ 66. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Minister of Labour whether his attention has been drawn to the delay in the publishing of the Ministry of Labour Gazette for May; whether he is aware that, although the Gazette is usually published by the 20th of the month, the May issue had not reached the local libraries by the 3rd June; and whether, in view of the inconvenience caused by the delay, steps can be taken to ensure the earliest possible delivery of the Gazette?
Mr. STEWARTThe Ministry of Labour Gazette for May was published on the usual date, and copies were on sale to the public on the 19th May. As regards the supply of the Gazette to public free libraries, a new system has recently been adopted under which the libraries make their own arrangements for securing the Gazette. It may be that misapprehension of this has led to delay in individual instances.
