HC Deb 17 June 1935 vol 303 c13
29. Mr. CROSSLEY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the proposed legislation for the reduction of the surplus spindleage in the cotton industry will be introduced this Session?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Runciman)

I hope that the proposed legislation will be introduced this Session, though I fear I am not yet in a position to name a date.

Sir JOHN HASLAM

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether the interests of the minority—the sound financial minority—will receive fair consideration in this matter?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

Yes, Sir.
