MR. T. F. RICHARDSI beg to ask the Secretary of State for war whether he has requested the County Associations when placing contracts for the clothing for the Territorial Forces with private firms to observe the Fair Wages Resolution of this House; and, if not, will he take the necessary steps to inform them of the existence of such a Resolution.
§ MR. HALDANEWe will draw the attention of Associations to the inclusion of the Fair Wages Clause in Government contracts, and I hope that this course will lead to its inclusion in tenders for clothing issued by them.
