HC Deb 03 June 1946 vol 423 c248W
27. Mr. Hale

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider the equipment of a Government-owned mill in the area of Oldham as a model of a modern cotton spinning mill.

Mr. Belcher

I would refer my hon. Friend to the report of the Working Party on the Cotton Industry, copies of which are available in the Vote Office, and in particular to No. VII of the recommendations in that report, and also to the statement which I propose to make after Questions in reply to the hon. Member for Walton (Mr. Haworth) on the manner in which the Government propose to deal with the report.
