HC Deb 25 October 1909 vol 12 cc739-40
Mr. BOTTOMLEY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, since his appointment to that office, there had been any meeting of the Board; and, if not, whether he proposes to convene one?

Mr. TENNANT

No, Sir. I understand the Board has not met for many years, and it is not proposed to convene it now.

Mr. BOTTOMLEY

May I ask the hon. Member whether the Archbishop of Canterbury, as a member of that Board, was consulted as to the provisions of the Trade Boards Bill, with a view to extending its provisions to sweated curates?
