HC Deb 03 July 1932 vol 156 cc4-5
4. Captain WEDGWOOD BENN

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can give the House the full information supplied by the Board of Trade to the Committee inquiring into complaints under Part if of the Safeguarding of Industries Act relating to the number of persons directly employed in each of the industries to Which it is now-proposed to apply orders?

Mr. BALDWIN

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer given to his question of Tuesday last, the 27th June.

Captain BENN

Does not the right hon. Gentleman think that the fullest information on the point should be available in the House of Commons?

Mr. BALDWIN

I should be only too pleased to give all particulars, but the statistics of the Labour Department do not enable me to lay any more information before the House than we have already given.

Captain BENN

Do I understand the right hon. Gentleman has placed before the House all the information available to his Department on this matter?

Mr. BALDWIN

Certainly.
