HC Deb 17 December 1925 vol 189 cc1685-6W
Colonel WOODCOCK

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the number of officials and clerks in each Government Department exclusively employed and partially employed, respectively, in the preparation of statistics for the years ending 31st March, 1914, and 31st March, 1925?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I have no such comparative figures and I fear that at this distance of time it would not be possible to ascertain the number of officials so employed in 1914.
