109. Mr. Mapp

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take steps to give assistance to meet the difficulties of firms in the cotton and man-made fibre industry which are able to demonstrate efficiency criteria comparable to the efficiencies in the Common Market countries.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu:

No. I am not prepared to anticipate the results of the Textile Council's study into productivity and efficiency in the industry.
