§ 30. Mr. KENNEDYasked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that the firm of James Robertson, Limited, Millfield Ropeworks, Leven, Fife, was recently found to be paying workers at rates lower than the Net, Rope, and Twine Trade Board general minimum time rates; if the firm 1259 in question has refused to pay Trade Board time rates; and what steps are to be taken to enforce the Regulations?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe report of an inspector who visited the Millfield Rope-works indicates that the position is as stated in the first part of the question. I cannot confirm the suggestion contained in the second part of the question, but I am taking steps to ensure that the firm shall comply with the requirements of the Trade Boards Acts.
