HC Deb 31 March 1926 vol 193 c2027
62. Mr. LANSBURY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the post of Director of the Government Labour Office at Bombay is to be combined with that of Director of Information; and, if so, whether he will inform the House of the considerations which influenced the Government in discontinuing the separate post of Director of the Labour Office?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Earl Winterton)

The Government of Bombay have abolished the separate post of Director of the Labour Office. According to the latest Bombay Civil List, the Director of information is acting as Director of the Labour Office in addition. As regards the last part of the question my Noble Friend has no detailed information.

Mr. LANSBURY

Will the Noble Lord's chief endeavour be to get some information?

Earl WINTERTON

It is really a matter wholly to be dealt with by the Bombay Government, actually by statute law and constitutional practice.

Mr. LANSBURY

I hope he will get the information.

Earl WINTERTON

In courtesy to the hon. Member, certainly.
