§ 69. Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked the Minister of Health whether the Government, as signatories of the Treaty of Versailles, undertook by Article 405 of the treaty to bring the draft conventions adopted by the International Labour Conference before Parliament within the period of one year at most from, the closing of the session of the conference; whether the International Conference at Washington adopted a draft convention concerning the employment of women before and after childbirth; and whether, in view of the fact that the year from the closing of the conference expires on 27th January, 1921, he will assure the House that the Government intend to carry out their treaty obligations by introducing a Bill to give effect to this draft convention before 27th January next?
§ Dr. ADDISONI can only refer my noble Friend to the answer given by the Prime Minister to the right hon. Gentleman the Member for West Fife (Mr. A damson) on the 25th November, of which I will send him a copy.
