HC Deb 10 November 1919 vol 121 c3
2. Sir S. HOARE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Wool and Leather Control Councils were still in existence; and whether there were still in existence any other control councils of a similar character?

Sir A. GEDDES

I understand that the Wool and Leather Councils, though still in existence, now act only in an advisory capacity to the Ministry of Munitions. The only other operating control council, of which I am aware, is the Flax Control Board.

Lieut. - Commander KEN WORTHY

Hay I inquire whether any consumers, other than representatives of the wool and leather trades, are on these councils?

Sir A. GEDDES

Any question with regard to these councils should be directed to the Ministry of Munitions, in connection with which they work.
