HC Deb 31 May 1927 vol 207 c207
46. Mr. CRAWFURD

asked the Prime Minister whether it is his intention that His Majesty's Government shall be represented at the forthcoming conference of the International Labour Organisation only by civil servants and not by any Minister or Ministers?

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

I have been asked to reply. Yes, Sir.

Mr. CRAWFURD

Is the hon. Member aware that the French Minister of Labour proposes to visit this conference, and does he not think that equal attention ought to be paid to it by our Government?

Mr. BETTERTON

I understand that M. Fallieères, the French Minister of Labour, is paying a visit to the conference for a day or two, but not as one of the accredited representatives of France.
