§ Mr. WEDGWOOD BENNasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact that the dock company's timber books show each week the exact number of feet in stock and of every parcel of boards and every pile of logs in the docks, and in view of the importance of such information to the timber trade, he will consider the possibility of the London Port Authority publishing week by week a full and detailed statement of the wood stocks in each dock?

§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe Board of Trade have no power to require the Port of London Authority to publish the particulars referred to. I have, however, communicated with the Port Authority in the matter, and am informed that if my lion. Friend will give them further information as to his requirements they will be pleased to consider his suggestions.
