§ 97. Mr. PERCY HARRIS (Leicester, Harborough)asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider appointing an additional member of the Textile Industries Committee with expert knowledge of the hosiery textile trade, seeing that all other branches of the textile trade are represented thereon?
Mr. HARCOURTI regret that it has not been found practicable to provide for separate representation on the Committee of all the various interests concerned, and in view of the present size of the Committee any addition to its membership appears undesirable. Every section of the textile industries will, however, be given full opportunity to lay its case before the Committee.
