The London Textile Committee report has recommended immediate measures to increase the cotton output in India, Egypt and Sudan, besides controlling the export of Egyptian cotton in order to safeguard the requirements of the British Empire and its Allies.

The report also recommends immediate measures to increase flax production in Ireland, Canada, India and other parts of the Empire. It suggests the Allies to conserve flax supply for each other’s use in priority to other demands. The Committee also recommends that advantage be taken of India’s monopoly of jute production to safeguard jute supplies for Britain and her Allies and also impose export duty on the same.
