§ 49. Lord HENRY CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that many reforms in the organisation of industry, and particularly in the mining industry, such as amalgamations and the modernisation of machinery and plant, cannot be undertaken owing to the lack of the necessary capital, he will revive the Trade Facilities Act?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo, Sir. I should not feel justified in proposing such a departure, unless I was fully satisfied that the necessary credits cannot be obtained in the ordinary course of business.
