HC Deb 11 July 1949 vol 467 c18
35. Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Supply if, in view of the fact that the Lemon Committee on engineering standardisation is concerning itself with rationalisation proposals he will so amend its terms of reference as to exclude this subject from its purview and ensure that it confines itself to its terms of reference.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

The Committee has considered the possible effect of increasing standardisation upon the structure of the engineering industry, but I am not aware that they have made, or are likely to make, proposals for the rationalisation of the industry, or any part of it.
