§ Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLEasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what sources for the collection of economic data exist in civil departments apart from the National Economic Council; and what steps it is proposed to take to co-ordinate their activities?
§ Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCESuitable provision is made by each Government Department concerned with the development of trade and industry for the compilation of economic data required for the effective discharge of its special responsibilities. It will be the duty of the Economic Advisory Council to keep in close touch with these Departments and to use each statistical or other information as may be needed for its own purposes.
