§ 24. Mr. Henderson Stewartasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that golf club makers in East Fife, because they are unable to secure an increase in their quota for manufacturing golf clubs for the home market, are likely to be obliged to pay off a considerable number of skilled workers; that these firms are receiving large orders for golf clubs from all over the country, which they are unable to meet; and what action he proposes to take to maintain this British industry offering substantial attractions to overseas visitors as well as to the public at home.
§ Mr. Belcher:I fully appreciate the desirability of maintaining employment, and I suggest that the golf club makers to whom the hon. Member refers should get into touch at once with the Board of Trade regional officer at Glasgow and he will go into their difficulties.
