§ 45 and 48. Mr. DIXEYasked the Prime Minister (1), what reply has been made to the request of the iron and steel trades to the Government to set up a committee to inquire into the position of these trades;
(2) whether the Government has yet come to a decision with regard to the reply they propose to give to the iron and steel trade's letter asking for an inquiry?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply to his similar question of Thursday last.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYMay I ask why the right hon. Gentleman left this matter so severely alone in his speech at Newcastle, in view of the fact that that is a great steel-producing area?
