HC Deb 26 May 1924 vol 174 cc53-4W
Lieut.-Colonel JAMES

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the most recent volume of Statistical Abstract for the several British Oversea Dominions and Protectorates, published by His Majesty's Stationery Office, does not relate to any year later than 1919; and whether, having regard to his expressed desire to supply the business world with all the knowledge to be obtained, he will give instructions for its publication to be resumed, seeing that the information contained therein is of the greatest value to the trading community, and in par-

from the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States respectively:

ticular to that section engaged in commerce within the Empire?

Mr. LUNN

A new issue of the Abstract is in an advanced state of preparation, and it is hoped that it may be ready for publication by about the end of June.
