The hon. Lady the Member for Flint, East (Mrs. White) is quite right. The use of the man-made fibres which are being brought in now will be in the traditional Lancashire processes. The actual production of the raw material is outwith the Cotton Board, in the same way as the raw cotton does not come within the scope of the Order.

I agree with the good wishes expressed by the hon. Member for Westhoughton (Mr. J. T. Price) towards the industry and with all that he said about what it has been doing. He was anxious to know whether the Cotton Board should bring in more processes. He mentioned knitting. These are interesting thoughts. In this work we like to go at the pace at which the industry itself wants to go. On the other hand, the review comes up in two years' time, which seems the appropriate moment, when the industry has digested this little one which we are doing now.

The hon. Member for Ashton-under-Lyne (Mr. Rhodes) has a far greater knowledge of the industry, being a little older than myself, if I may say so respectfully, than I could ever hope to have, and I always listen to him with interest. The amount of the grant going to the Shirley Institute is not changed under the Order. He will recall that previous to the Order the £45,000 came from the man-made side and £200,000 from the Board to the Institute. This remains stable within the quinquennium, but that is due for renewal in 1965, and 1964 is not too early for everyone in the industry to start thinking about it and for all of us to look forward. [Interruption.] It was the £45,000 figure I have been given coming from the manmade fibre side. This is being integrated into the total revenue going to the Shirley Institute.

The main effect—in fact, the only real effect—of the Order is that it will alter a little the balance of the levy payment by individual firms in the cotton industry. The only people to pay a little more will be those firms that have had a heavy usage of man-made fibres. Those who have had a lower usage and have been principally in traditional cotton, will probably pay a little less.
