HC Deb 24 March 1919 vol 114 c38
76. Mr. HURD

asked the Minister of Labour whether he has gathered further information respecting profit sharing and labour co-partnership in the United Kingdom since the issue of the Report of 1912 (Cd. 6496); and whether, seeing the immediate importance of the subject as affecting industrial unrest, he will now present a further Report?

Mr. WARDLE

Information upon this subject is now being collected from the various firms who have schemes of profit-sharing and labour co-partnership in force, or who, having had such schemes in force, have since abandoned them; and it is proposed to issue a further Report as soon as the necessary information can be obtained.

Mr. HURD

Would it be possible for the hon. Gentleman to obtain information of a corresponding kind from other countries, such as the United States?

Mr. WARDLE

I will make inquiries.
