Cotton Industry Act 1959
The Cotton Industry Act 1959 (7 & 8 Eliz. 2. c. 48) aimed to reorganise the Lancashire cotton industry to prevent its further decline. It provided for grants to replace equipment. The reorganisation process was voluntary in large part to be managed by the Cotton Board.

It was the last major legislative intervention, following other attempts to help rationalise and modernise the industry including the Cotton Spinning Industry Act 1936 and the Cotton Industry (Reorganisation) Act 1939.

The Cotton Industry (Reorganisation) Act 1939 (2 & 3 Geo. 6. c. 54) was an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom. It established the Cotton Board and was responsible for streamlining the industry by closing "surplus" factories.
