§ 7. Mr. RYEasked the Home Secretary whether there is any official record of the number of business premises erected in England and Wales after the date of the issue of the Report of the Select Committee on Business Premises; and, if so, what is the number of such premises?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSFigures with regard to the number of new premises are given in the Annual Reports of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, and I am sending my hon. Friend a summary of figures extracted from these Reports.
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI have not the figures here. I can telephone to the Home Office and obtain them for the hon. Member, but it is rather difficult to get figures out from a number of annual reports.
