But the terms of the new agreement have so far not
been disclosed to the industry, and only 2 days ago was the public informed that official signature of the agreement had been
eld up because of "minor technical problems of drafting" If all that remain to be resolved are minor points of drafting, can
the Government not make known the basic terms of the new agreement which, presumably, there is no question of re-opening? As it happens, the industry is still being kept in the dark as to what to expect, and this is making it very difficult for the industry to make commercial decisions on whether or not to
accept orders for goods to be shipped next year.
Sir, the industry does need to know, and I hope the Director of Commerce & Industry will feel able to inform this Council of the pertinent retails of the K/US Textile Agreement.
