§ 27. Mr. Boardmanasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is prepared to arrange for the supply of white cord overall material to be made available for use by those employed in the cotton-spinning industry as protective clothing against spinners' cancer and industrial dematitis.
§ Sir S. Cripps:I understand that it has not in practice been usual or convenient for cotton spinners to wear protective clothing for this purpose, and that the safeguards against spinners' cancer advocated in the interim report of the Joint Advisory Committee of the Cotton Industry on mule spinners' cancer, and automatic wiping down motions, published in June, 1945, are considered to be more effective.
