HC Deb 08 July 1930 vol 241 c234
57. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Minister of Labour whether she can make any statement concerning the present position in the wool textile dispute?

Mr. LAWSON

I would refer the right hon. Gentleman to the reply given to him on this subject on 24th June, to which I have nothing to add.

Sir K. WOOD

Can the hon. Member say Whether all these workpeople have gone back?

Mr. LAWSON

No, a certain section have not yet gone back.

Mr. BROOKE

Can the hon. Member say whether the Minister of Labour has been recently considering the appointment of a sub-committee to inquire into the conditions of the industry, and whether they are now in a position to make a report?

Mr. LAWSON

I should like the hon. Member to put that question down on the Paper.

Mr. MACQUISTEN

Was there not a committee presided over by Lord Macmillan which presented a very valuable report?
