HC Deb 29 March 1928 vol 215 c1342
54. Mr. ELLIS

asked the President of the Board of Trade when the next Report of Sir Arthur Balfour's Committee on Industry and Trade will be issued?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister)

I understand that three further volumes, completing the Committee's survey of the industrial situation, have now been compiled. One ofthese, entitled "Further Factors in industrial and Commercial Efficiency," is expected to be issued next week, and the remaining two volumes, which will contain surveys of the textile and metal industries respectively, shortly after Easter. I am informed that the Committee are now considering their final Report.
