HC Deb 09 March 1939 vol 344 c2373W
Mr. Burke

asked the President of the Board of Trade when he proposes to introduce a Bill for the reorganisation of the cotton industry?

Mr. Stuart Russell

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, as a result of the ballot of the industry, it is the intention of his Department to introduce the Cotton Enabling Bill in the House of Commons?

Mr. Stanley

It has been decided to proceed with a Bill embodying the proposals of the Joint Committee of Cotton Trade Organisations. The Bill will follow closely the draft which was published in Cmd. 5935, and I hope to introduce it next week.
