asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the annual amount of wages, and also rent and other expenses, incurred in connection with the Stationery Office in Abingdon Street; and what was the total return of sales for the last three years?

Mr. McNEILL

My hon. and gallant Friend will find the particulars he desires in the trading accounts for the Abingdon Street Sales Office. The accounts for the years 1922–23 and 1923–24 are published on pages 170 to 174 of House of Commons Paper No. 75 of 1925, and those for the year 1924–25 on page 154 of House of Commons Paper No. 50 of 1926. Accounts for the year 1925–26 are not yet issued.

Colonel DAY

Do they show a profit or a loss?

Mr. McNEILL

I must refer the hon. and gallant Gentleman to the accounts which I have mentioned.
