HC Deb 16 May 1927 vol 206 cc902-3
44. Mr. GRUNDY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in consequence of the recommendation contained in the Report of the Privy Council for Scientific and Industrial Research for 1925–26, that the direct expenditure by Government on textile researches should be increased, he intends to take any steps to set up a committee of inquiry into the state of the cotton textile industry?

Sir B. CHADWICK

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given by the President of the Board of Trade to the hon. Member for Elland on the 15th February last, to which I have nothing to add.
