Mr. MacmillanMy right hon. Friend is considering representations to this effect made by the industry, but I cannot anticipate his decision. I myself saw a deputation from the industry on 23rd October, which was introduced by my hon. Friend the Member for Stockport, North (Sir N. Hulbert). I have reported to my right hon. Friend on the representations they made to me, and he is taking these into account.
