HC Deb 01 March 1926 vol 192 c1024
62. Mr. RENNIE SMITH

asked the Prime Minister if he is aware that the International Federation of Trade Unions is inaugurating a fund for the purpose of helping trade unionism in back: ward countries, and whether he can set his way to encourage this movement, especially as it affects the backward countries of the British Empire?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Mr. Betterton)

I have been asked to reply. I am aware of the movement referred to by the hon. Member. It is not one in which it would be proper for the Government to intervene.
