16. Colonel YATE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, considering the fact that Leicester is one of the largest textile hosiery centres, he will reconsider the question of co-opting a representative of the trade of that district to act on the Committee of Textile Industries?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Pretyman)

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer which my right hon. Friend gave yesterday to the hon. Member for the Market Harborough Division.
