§ Mr. JOHNasked the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been called to the recommendation of the Welsh Insurance Commissioners that all official statistics dealing with population, employment, and health, should be prepared for Wales, including Monmouthshire, as a separate unit; and whether he will give instructions that in his Department this course in future will be invariably followed?
§ Mr. BURNSMy attention has been called to the paragraph in the recent Report of the Welsh Insurance Commissioners. The present practice in regard to periodical statistics issued by the Local Government Board is to give separate particulars for Wales and Monmouthshire in all but clearly unimportant cases.
