§ 85. Mr. RANKINasked the Minister of Labour if he has reached any decision with regard to the chairmanship of the new cotton industry conciliation committee; and, if so, whether he can make any statement on the subject?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Mr. R. S. Hudson)The employers' and workers' organisations concerned agreed that there should be one chairman for the two conciliation committees provided for in the agreements recently concluded in the spinning and manufacturing sections of the industry. They asked my right 633 hon. Friend to nominate a chairman and he has nominated Mr. Charles Doughty, K.C., who has been good enough to agree to undertake this important work. My right hon. Friend has advised the organisations accordingly.
