HC Deb 16 March 1950 vol 472 cc72-3W
82. Sir H. Williams

asked the President of the Board of Trade if, when the summary of the trade returns becomes available each month, he will place them in the Vote Office.

Mr. H. Wilson

I presume the hon. Member is referring to the total trade figures mentioned by the Prime Minister in his answer to a question by the hon. Member on 9th March, which are announced in advance of the publication of the Trade and Navigation Accounts. These figures are already given considerable publicity, but I shall be pleased to arrange for them to be placed in the Library of the House each month so that the information will be available to hon. Members as soon as it is released to the Press.
