§ Sir A. Wilsonasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state, for the years 1907 and 1936, the figures disclosed by the Census of Production showing, for all firms and industries covered thereby, the size of firm as shown by the average number of persons employed; the number of returns; and the average total number of persons employed in each size category from 11 to 24 persons upwards to 1,000 and over?
§ Mr. CrossThe particulars desired are not available for the year 1907. A Census of Production was not taken for 1936. Particulars for 1935 are being shown for each industry in the Final Report on the Census for that year, but aggregates covering all industries to which the Census related cannot yet be furnished.
