HC Deb 25 March 1948 vol 448 c3341
69. Mr. Granville Sharp

asked the President of the Board of Trade why there have been substantial recent increases in the selling price of raw cotton to manufacturers.

Mr. H. Wilson

As stated in the Press notices issued by the Raw Cotton Corn mission, of which I am sending my hon. Friend copies, the increases are designed to bring their selling prices into line with those ruling in the principal producing countries.
