HC Deb 13 March 1923 vol 161 cc1305-6W
Sir W. SUGDEN

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will cause inquiries to be instituted as to the organisation of the engineering, tobacco, and licensing trades, and thereafter call a conference of all interests in the cotton trade to consider the best means available to improve trade methods and conditions therein by suggestions based upon the organisation of these before-mentioned three trades?

Viscount WOLMER

If any such action were desirable it would be more appropriate, I suggest, for the interests concerned to take or initiate the necessary steps.
