HC Deb 04 June 1919 vol 116 c2001
50. Mr. TILLETT

asked the Prime Minister whether it is his intention to include the Channel Islands within the scope of any measure having for its purpose the enforcement of a legal 48-hour week?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Shortt)

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. The regulation of the hours and conditions of employment in the Channel Islands has hitherto been regarded as a matter for the insular Legislatures to deal with. It will probably be found most convenient to follow the same course in the present instance, but I will consult the insular Governments on the point.
