§ 2. Squadron-Leader Sir Gifford Foxasked the President of the Board of Trade if he has now considered the recommendations of the sub-committee set up by the British Furniture Manufacturers' Federated Associations to study the problem of woodworm in utility furniture; and if the results of such recommendations have yet been made available to the trade.
§ The President of the Board of Trade (Sir Stafford Cripps)Discussions have taken place between my Department and the British Furniture Manufacturers' Federated Associations on this question, but no recommendations have been made to me by the sub-committee to which the hon. and gallant Member refers.
§ Sir G. FoxWill the right hon. and learned Gentleman speed up things, as people do not want to have this utility furniture continually forced on them full of woodworm?
§ Sir S. CrippsI entirely appreciate that, but this is a very complicated scientific problem. I understand that it is being looked into by the manufacturers very carefully.
