HC Deb 14 December 1950 vol 482 c1314
4. Mr. Albu

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has received the report of the committee which he set up to examine the British Standards Institution; and what action he proposes to take.

Mr. H. Wilson

Yes, Sir. The report is now being printed and I hope to make a statement as soon as copies are available.

Mr. Albu

Can my right hon. Friend draw the attention of all concerned to the many references in the Reports of the Anglo-American Council on Productivity to the advantages of simplification and standardisation?

Mr. Wilson

Yes, Sir. The Committee which has been looking into the British Standards Institution paid full attention to all the recommendations of this report.
