§ Mr. CROSSLEYasked the President of the Board of Trade what steps, if any, are being taken with respect to the Census of Production Act; and when the Returns based on that measure will be laid before the House?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLSchedules of questions prepared under the Census of Production Act to the number of nearly half a million were all issued before the close of last year, but the compilation of the statistics has naturally entailed, and continues to entail, a very considerable amount of examination and inquiry by correspondence and otherwise. I propose to publish preliminary figures for certain important groups of trades during the course of the next two or three months, and the remainder of the information will be published as rapidly as the nature of the work permits.
