HC Deb 18 December 1919 vol 123 cc714-5W
Mr. J. DAVISON

asked the Minister of Labour when it is proposed to resume the issue of the annual publication of the Ministry of Labour, formerly of the Board of Trade dealing with standard time-rates of wages; whether the last edition of this publication was issued in 1914; whether data for any subsequent years has been collected in his Department; and whether he will take steps to make any such data available for the public use?

Mr. WARDLE

A new edition of this publication is now in preparation, and will be issued early next year. The latest edition published related to October, 1913, but particulars of the principal changes in rates of wages and hours of labour which have occurred since that date have been collected regularly and published in the monthly issues of the "Labour Gazette."
