§ Mr. Rhys Daviesasked the President of the Board of Trade the number of persons prosecuted by his Department up to date for violations of regulations; and how many of these were employers and servants, respectively?
§ Mr. DaltonThere have been 1,287 prosecutions instituted by the Board of Trade for contravention of the Defence Regulations in respect of breaches of Orders now admininstered by the Board. The information asked for in the second part of the Question is not readily available and I regret that I could not justify the expenditure of labour and time which would be involved in obtaining it.
