asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that public anxiety with regard to the present and future of the dye industry in this country has been increased by the disclosures at the recent annual meeting of the British Dyestuffs Corporation; and whether he will now consider the appointment of a Select Committee to go into the whole question?

My right hon. Friend has already stated that he is not prepared to recommend the appointment of a Committee, and he sees no reason to modify that conclusion.
