HC Deb 02 November 1930 vol 134 cc196-7
47. Mr. CLOUGH

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the suggested investigation of output in the mines, he will extend his inquiry to the means of increasing output in the various other staple industries of the country?

Mr. BONAR LAW

As was stated in the House on the 20th October, the whole problem of increased production in industry is receiving the constant attention of the Government. It is greatly to be hoped that the joint bodies of employers and workpeople which exist in most of the principal industries of this country will follow the example which is being set in the coal trade and will give their attention to the urgent need for securing the greatest possible production.
