HC Deb 19 December 1927 vol 212 c4
9. Mr. GROVES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the Government of India have been in communication with the Provincial Governments with a view to the formation of arbitration boards with representatives of workers and employers in industrial centres?

Earl WINTERTON

So far as my Noble Friend is aware, the answer is in the negative. The Government of India have, however, consulted local governments regarding the introduction of a Bill providing for the reference of trade disputes to boards including persons representing the interests of employers and workers.
