HC Deb 19 November 1946 vol 430 c73W
Mr. Janner

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the legislation which it is proposed to introduce to deal with working party reports will involve dealing with the cotton, footwear, hosiery and pottery industries together in one Bill; or whether separate Bills will be introduced to deal with each industry.

Mr. Belcher

The legislation foreshadowed in the Gracious Speech will consist of a single Bill of a general character, which will enable effect to be given to certain of the recommendations of the working parties, such as the establishment of central bodies for particular industries and the provision of funds for them by means of levies. I would ask my hon. Friend to await the introduction of the Bill for further details.
