HC Deb 27 July 1933 vol 280 c2752
10. Mr. JOHN WALLACE

asked the Minister of Labour whether he can yet make any statement on the Scottish linen trade arising out of the considerations placed before him recently by a Scottish deputation?

Mr. HUDSON

The representations made to my right hon. Friend on the occasion referred to are receiving his careful consideration. Certain additional information has been asked for and my right hon. Friend is awaiting a statement from the Trade Association.

Mr. WALLACE

While the Minister made a good impression upon the representatives of the industry by his courteous and businesslike reception of the deputation, will my hon. Friend convey to the right hon. Gentleman the anxiety with which the Scottish linen trade await the decision of the Department on this subject?

Mr. HUDSON

My right hon. Friend is fully aware of it. We are awaiting further information.
