§ MR. HARMOOD-BANNER (Liverpool Everton)I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the trade union clause providing for rates of wages and hours of labour is included in the contracts made by the India Office, and particularly was any clause protective of wages and hours of labour included in the recent purchases of iron material from Belgian manufacturers.
§ MR. BUCHANANI have just stated in reply to the hon. Member for Darlington, particulars of the "Fair Wages Clause," which is inserted in all our contracts. No clause relating to hours of labour is inserted in contracts made by the India Office.
