HC Deb 26 January 1937 vol 319 c736
31. Mr. H. G. Williams

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can now furnish a statement as to the operations of the Cotton Spindles Board?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade (Dr. Burgin)

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given on 1st December to the hon. Member for Eccles (Mr. Cary). As my hon. Friend has no doubt seen from notices in the Press, a statement as to the results of the first inquiry under the Cotton Spinning Industry Act was issued by the Spindles Board last week.

Mr. Williams

Will the information be placed at the disposal of Parliament in some convenient way?

Dr. Burgin

I think the information is public property, but, it there is any particular matter that I can make available to my hon. Friend, I shall be glad to do so.
