asked the Prime Minister whether he can provide Parliamentary time for a discussion of the present situation in the cotton industry?

My right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade proposes to present the Cotton Industry (Reorganisation) Bill next week. The Debate on that Bill will give an opportunity for a discussion of the cotton industry.

As the Bill will necessitate orders being laid on the Table for 28 days, will the Prime Minister provide special facilities for getting the Bill through as early as possible?

We will see when the Bill is introduced.

Will the wording of the Bill be exactly the same as that circulated to the trade?

I cannot say.
