HC Deb 23 February 1955 vol 537 cc178-9W
Mr. T. W. Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will enlarge the scope of this year's Digest of Welsh Statistics; and whether he will give figures showing taxation, revenue, and other duties paid from Welsh sources.

Major Lloyd-George

The Government are anxious that the Digest of Welsh Statistics should be as comprehensive as is reasonably possible, and I should be very glad to consider suggestions for enlarging its scope. I can hold out no hope, however, that it will be possible to include statistics of the kind asked for in the last part of the Question in view of the very real practical difficulties involved in calculating them.
