HC Deb 11 July 1927 vol 208 c1719
5. Mr. KELLY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether his attention has been drawn to the Resolution of the Indian Seamen's Union asking the Government of India to appoint a Board consisting of an equal number of representatives of employers and employees to settle the wages of seamen from time to time; and whether the Government of India propose to take any action on these lines or have given consideration to any such proposal?

Earl WINTERTON

I have not seen the Resolution referred to.

Mr. KELLY

In view of the favour with which conciliation has been received in this country, will the Noble Lord use his best endeavour to have it operated in India?

Earl WINTERTON

It is purely a matter for the Indian Government.
