HC Deb 26 March 1929 vol 226 c2230
53. Mr. KELLY

asked the Minister of Labour whether it is proposed to ratify the international convention of 1926 on seamen's articles of agreement; and, if not, will he state the reason?

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

A White Paper stating the action proposed by His Majesty's Government in regard to this Draft Convention will be laid before Parliament in due course.

Mr. KELLY

Is further consideration being given to the ratification of this Convention?

Mr. BETTERTON

I have already said that a White Paper will be laid before Parliament. The hon. Member had better wait until that is done.
