§ 63. Mr. LANSBURYasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he will inform the House of the considerations which the Government of India had in view in inviting Mr. Narottam Morarji to proceed to Geneva as the employers' delegate to the Eighth International Labour Conference, which he has declined; and why this gentleman was not asked to attend the ninth conference, which is to discuss questions vitally affecting Indian shipping, on which subject Mr. Narottam is specially qualified to speak from personal experience?
§ Earl WINTERTONIn issuing such invitations due regard has to be paid to a variety of considerations, including the provision in the Labour Covenant that employers' delegates shall be chosen in agreement with the industrial organisations, if such exist, which are most representative of employers.
