HC Deb 05 July 1920 vol 131 c1010
37. Viscountess ASTOR

asked the Prime Minister whether it is proposed to introduce legislation embodying the several conventions agreed to at the Washington Labour Conference; and if he can give any indication as to how soon this will be done?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave to my right hon. Friend the Member for the Gorbals Division of Glasgow on the 17th May. The principles of the draft convention limiting the hours of work in industrial undertakings will be embodied in the Hours of Employment Bill, which will be introduced shortly.
