§ 80. Mr. HARRISONasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he will make representations to the Government of the Dominion of Canada with a view to effect being given to the Maintenance Orders (Facilities for Enforcement) Act, 1920?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. Amery)The question of the passage of reciprocal legislation in Canada to enable effect to. be given to the Maintenance Orders (Facilities for Enforcement) Act, 1920, has been the subject of recent correspondence with the Canadian Government. The matter is one which in Canada falls within the jurisdiction of the several provinces, and the latter are, it is understood, not at present prepared to take steps for the pat-sage of the necessary legislation. In the circumstances, I doubt whether it would be of 1849 advantage at present to take the action suggested by my hon. Friend, but I can assure him that the question. of bringing the matter again, to the notice of the Dominion Government at some future date will not be overlooked
§ Mr. HARRISONWill the right hon. Gentleman say whether there will be any chance to bring this matter before the Imperial Conference in the Autumn?
§ Mr. AMERYIt is one of the points that could very well be brought to the notice of the Imperial Conference.
