HC Deb 21 January 1947 vol 432 cc7-8W
77. Mr. Randall

asked the President of the Board of Trade what progress is being made in the development of the new synthetic textile fibre Terylene; and whether it can now be produced on a big scale.

Mr. Belcher

An announcement has been made in the Press by I.C.I. Ltd. and the Calico Printers' Association that this fibre is in a very early stage of development and in any event a considerable time must elapse before it can be produced in appreciable quantities for the textile industries.
