HC Deb 01 April 1946 vol 421 cc116-7W
89. Mr. Erroll

asked the President of the Board of Trade when the Report of the working party for the cotton industry due for publication before the end of March, will be published.

Mr. Belcher:

Since my right hon. and learned Friend replied on 25th February last to a similar Question addressed to him by the hon. and gallant Member, I have learnt from the chairman of the working party that completion of the report is taking more time than had been expected and that it is now unlikely to be finished until about the end of April. The report will be published very shortly after completion.
