HC Deb 18 November 1947 vol 444 c161W
65. Mr. Shephard

asked the President of the Board of Trade if it is intended to set up a development council for the hosiery trade in the near future.

Mr. Belcher

I am in touch with the organisations of both sides of the industry about the establishment of a development council and an outline of the main provisions of the necessary Order was sent to them about 10 days ago. I am awaiting their comments on this document, which I hope will provide the basis for agreement on the form and functions of the Council.
