§ MR. T. F. RICHARDS (Wolverhampton, W.)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that uniforms for the Territorial Reserve Forces are being made in the homes of employees in the East End of London, and that some of the contractors are working their employees in their factories seven days per week and whether, in view 1190 of the Fair Wages Resolution of this House, it is his intention to take any action in the matter.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) I am not aware of the matters alluded to in the Question. The attention of the associations has been drawn to the Fair Wages Clause, but, as I have already informed the hon. Member, it is not practicable to interfere with their discretion.
