§ 20. Mrs. Mannasked the President of the Board of Trade what reports he has received from the Women's Organisations' Committee, appointed by the Treasury and operating under Treasury chairmanship; if he will arrange for this committee to co-operate with the proposed Women's Committee to study retail markings; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. P. ThorneycroftI understand that relations between the two bodies which the hon. Member has in mind promise to be close and cordial, and that no formal arrangements for their co-operation are necessary. Neither body reports to me.
§ Mrs. MannCan the right hon. Gentleman say what measures will be taken to make the findings of this Committee effective?
§ Mr. ThorneycroftThere are two Committees. One of them reports to the British Standards Institution and the other to the Treasury, and questions should be addressed to those respective bodies.
