HC Deb 12 April 1927 vol 205 c207W
Sir J. POWER

asked the President of the Board of Trade when the general Report on the Census of Production is likely to be published?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

The preparation of the final Report cannot be begun until the series of preliminary Reports now appearing in the Board of Trade Journal has been completed. Up to the present date, 28 out of a total of 121 schedules have been reported on in these preliminary Reports, in seven issues of the Journal. I hope the final Report may be ready in about a year from now.
