§ 14. Mr. J. Johnsonasked the President of the Board of Trade if, as a result of the further representations he has received, he will now consider the advisability of setting up an independent fact-finding inquiry to report upon the position in the motor industry.
§ Mr. P. ThorneycroftI have considered the representations made to me on this subject and have come to the conclusion that it would not help to have a Government inquiry into the industry. Good consultative machinery already exists through which trade union representatives can make known their views, and the circumstances of the motor car industry have been very fully discussed at recent meetings of its National Advisory Council.
