§ 34. Mr. ANDERSONasked the Minister of Munitions what machinery he proposes to set up for giving effect to Clause 5 of the Amending Munitions Bill; and whether opportunity will be given to representatives of women workers to submit their views on Orders relating to their wages and conditions?
§ Dr. ADDISONThe machinery proposed for the purpose is indicated in Clause 6 of the Bill as amended in Committee. The answer to the last part of the question is in the affirmative.
§ 35. Mr. ANDERSONasked the Minister of Munitions whether he will take steps to secure that women assessors appointed under the Amending Munitions Bill are such as will command the confidence of working women; and whether, in accordance with the procedure adopted for the appointment of workmen's representatives, he will accept nominations from women's trade unions?
§ Dr. ADDISONThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The second part of the question does not quite correctly state the procedure adopted for the appointment of workmen's representatives, but I may say that any names submitted to the Ministry by women's trade unions will be carefully considered.
