Mr. TERRELLasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Committee appointed by the Board under the Safeguarding of Industries Act has given its decision as to the inclusion of the fabric glove industry; when such decision was given; whether the Board intend to take any action to give effect to Part II of the Act; and can he give the reason for the delay?
§ Mr. BALDWINI would refer my hon. Friend to the answers given to questions878W asked by him on the 13th February and by the hon. Member for East Nottingham (Sir J. D. Rees) on the 20th February, of which I am sending him copies. The Committee referred to reported on 26th January, 1922. I may point out that the Committee's terms of reference require them to report whether certain conditions set out in the Act are fulfilled, and not to give a decision as to whether an Order should or should not be made.
