§ Miss BONDFIELDAs ray hon. Friend is aware I can take no further action without the joint consent of the parties. They know that, if there is any useful step which can be taken, my services are at their disposal.
§ Mr. JOWETTIs it nothing to the Government that this great industry, built up by the skill and dexterity of generations of workers, should be allowed to drift into ruin?
§ Mr. HANNONWould not this whole trouble have been obviated if Safeguarding had been in operation?
