§ Mr. TOUCHEasked the President of the Board of Trade whether any official figures are available for the purpose of comparing the cost of living in London and in provincial centres during recent years; and whether the Report of the Committee on Cost of Living may be expected to contain any pronouncement or supply data from which such comparison may be drawn?
Mr. BUXTONThe latest figures available for a comparison of the cost of living in London and the principal provincial towns relate to 1905, and are contained in Cd. 3864. In the forthcoming Report on Cost of Living, this information will be brought up to 1912.
