HC Deb 02 December 1912 vol 44 cc1868-9
88. Sir J. D. REES

asked whether the Export on the Nottingham lace out workers has been received; and, if so, when it will be disposed of?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative; the second part does not therefore arise.

Sir J. D. REES

When does the right hon. Gentleman expect this Report regarding a matter involving so much distress and misery in Nottingham?

Mr. MASTERMAN

An investigation is being carried out under the terms of the Act by an impartial person. As soon as he gives a Report, we shall take action.
