HC Deb 09 March 1927 vol 203 cc1223-4
43. Mr. ROBERT YOUNG

asked the Minister of Labour whether His Majesty's Government intends to ratify the Geneva Convention on the weekly rest day in industrial undertakings; and, if so, when they propose to introduce the necessary legislation?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

The British Government delegates voted against this Convention at Geneva in 1921, and their action was subsequently confirmed by the decision of the Government not to ratify it. It is not proposed to reconsider that decision.
