HC Deb 13 June 1947 vol 438 cc153-4W
Mr. Sharp

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action he is taking to facilitate and encourage the installation of more automatic looms in the wool textile industry.

Sir S. Cripps

The scope for increasing the use of automatic looms in the wool textile industry was examined by the Wool Working Party, whose Report has recently been published. I shall be discussing the Report, including the views of the Working Party on this question, with the wool industry in the near future.
