HC Deb 23 February 1900 vol 79 cc929-30
SIR CHARLES DILKE () Gloucestershire, Forest of Dean

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will communicate with the Local Government Board, the Scotch Office, and the Irish Office, as to the possibility of agreeing to an address for a return showing the form of the various fair wage clauses for contracts adopted by the several local authorities for the three kingdoms.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir M. WHITE RIDLEY,) Lancashire, Blackpool

If the right hon. Baronet will let me know rather more precisely what he wants, and particularly as to the local authorities from whom he desires the information obtained, I shall be glad to consult the departments mentioned and to see if I can meet his wishes.
