§ Mr. FIELDasked the President of the Board of Trade whether several of the great commercial nations have either proposed or passed laws prohibiting or restricting gambling operations on their stock and produce exchanges since the last Government Blue Book respecting options and future contracts was issued in 1904; whether he will communicate with the Foreign Office and Colonial Office, as was done in 1902 by the then President of the Board of Trade, with a view to obtain the information necessary to complete and bring up to date the particulars relating to the various actual and proposed legislative measures in all European and foreign countries, as well as in Egypt and Canada, and issue the same in the shape of a continuation Blue Book of 1904 for the information of the House?
Mr. BUXTONI will take steps to have information collected supplementary to that published in previous blue books on this subject.
