§ Mr. LEACHI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade a question of which I have given him private notice, namely, whether he has yet come to any decision with regard to the trades to be brought under the Trade Boards Act?
Mr. BUXTONI have already stated that I propose to bring under the Trade Boards Act the trades of sugar confectionery and food preserving, shirt-making, hollow-ware, linen and cotton embroidery. I propose in addition to include the processes of calendering and machine ironing in the steam laundry trade. I am to-day giving notice of the introduction of a Provisional Order Bill extending the application of the Act to the five trades, of which a more detailed definition will be set out in the Schedules.
§ Mr. KEIR HARDIEIs it intended to include agricultural labourers in the new Order?
