§ 106. Mr. John E. Haireasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the almost total cessation of work in furniture factories producing non-utility furniture made of metal, alloys and plastics; and what steps he proposes to take to effect an improvement.
§ Mr. H. WilsonI am aware that demand has fallen off sharply for some types of non-utility furniture; and this may well have resulted in reduced production. I do not propose to take any steps in the matter.
