HC Deb 30 July 1951 vol 491 c150W
Mr. Macdonald

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will ensure, by regulation, that all woollen clothing materials and garments shall, from an early date to be appointed, be required to state the percentage of wool that they contain.

Sir H. Shawcross

The Clothing Industry Development Council are considering the general question of the description and labelling of garments containing wool, and I should prefer to await the result of their inquiries before considering whether any action by the Board of Trade is practicable or desirable.
