§ Captain BAGLEYasked the Secretary to the Board of Trade when the next Census of Production will be taken; and whether, in the meantime, he will consider the possibility of publishing a Return which will bring any portion of the last census up to date?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThe date of the next Census of Production has not yet been fixed. Owing to the occupation of the staff with urgent war and reconstruction work it has not yet been possible to resume the tabulation of the Returns received in connection with the Second Census of Production (1912), but it is intended to examine as soon as possible the material which has been collected in order to ascertain the most useful form in which it can be made public.
