HC Deb 06 May 1930 vol 238 cc741-2
48. Mr. HACKING

asked the Prime Minister whether he is yet able to announce the Government's proposals for dealing with the cotton industry?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

The Committee are at this moment actively engaged in the consideration of the draft of their Report which the Prime Minister hopes to receive at an early date.

Mr. HACKING

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that this is Cotton Week, and therefore a fit occasion to make an announcement which would be helpful?

Mr. SNOWDEN

It might have been helpful if the Committee had submitted their Report simultaneously with Cotton Week.

Mr. HAMMERSLEY

When will the Report be made?
