HC Deb 04 November 1948 vol 457 cc111-2W
99. Mr. John E. Haire

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Furniture Industry Development Council about to be established will be given powers to control design of furniture and maintain standards of production.

Mr. H. Wilson

No. No development council could be given such powers of control. But one of the functions of the Furniture Development Council will be to encourage the improvement of design and the production of furniture conforming to minimum standards of quality.
