HC Deb 08 July 1948 vol 453 c46W
34. Mr. Henderson Stewart

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will now make a statement of the Government's intentions with regard to the jute industry, following upon the issue of the Working Party Report and his subsequent discussions with the trade.

Mr. H. Wilson

I have asked the members of the jute industry to give me their views on the recommendations contained in the Report of the Working Party, and I should prefer to make no further statement until I have received and considered their comments.
