HC Deb 26 October 1920 vol 133 c1574W
Mr. SWAN

asked the President of the Board of Trade what are the certain forms of glass manufacturing which the Government has recognised as a key industry; what are the measures which it is taking to protect the growth of this industry in Great Britain; and whether he will explain the need for such protection, in view of the shortage and demand for all kinds of glass?

Sir P. LLOYD-GREAME

I hope to introduce, in the course of the present Session, legislation to give effect to the policy of His Majesty's Government in respect of key industries, and I am sure the hon. Member will appreciate that it is impracticable to discuss the details of that measure in advance.
