§ 1. Mr. Gowerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will arrange for the inclusion in future publications of the Digest of Welsh Statistics of more comprehensive financial returns as far as this is practicable.
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on 23rd February to a Question by the hon. Member for Merioneth (Mr. T. W. Jones).
§ Mr. GowerIs my right hon. and gallant Friend aware that I have received many letters expressing appreciation—indeed, many people have done it publicly—of the extension in the knowledge of Welsh activities which is afforded by the Digest? However, is he aware that a number of people have written to me complaining of its lack of financial information? While I appreciate the Minister's difficulties, will he do all that is possible in this connection?
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeI wish to make the Digest as comprehensive as possible, but my hon. Friend will appreciate that there are very real practical difficulties with regard to financial matters.
