asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that an energetic canvass is being made by the Stationery Office for advertisements for the Board of Trade Journal; and whether he has received any representations protesting against such action?

In reply to the first part of the question, I am informed that the Stationery Office is making a canvass for advertisements similar to that which it has made for some years past. I have received and am considering one representation of the kind referred to in the second part of the question.
