HC Deb 24 July 1912 vol 41 c1172
10. Mr. BUTCHER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the reason why the official explanatory leaflet No. 21, which professes by its heading to state the duties of employers of domestic servants generally, omits all reference to male domestic servants; and whether he will at once take steps to withdraw this leaflet and issue it in an amended form?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The leaflet in question obviously refers to female domestic servants, and the feminine gender is used throughout. I see no need to withdraw the leaflet, which I have reason to believe has been very useful to a large number of mistresses.

Mr. BUTCHER

Will the hon. Gentleman issue a leaflet applicable to the case of male domestic servants?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I will consider that if there is any demand for it.
