§ 8. Mr. MANDERasked the Minister of Labour whether she has received a communication from the joint Indus trial council of the lock, latch, and key industry of Willenhall, stating that it is in accord with the proposals that powers should be given for the compulsory operation and extension of joint industrial council decisions; and whether it is proposed to introduce legislation on the subject?
§ Miss BONDFIELDNo, Sir. The Council wrote in this sense in August, 1927, but I cannot trace any more recent letter from them on the subject.
§ Mr. MANDERWill the Government consider sympathetically a private Member's Bill on this subject?
§ Miss BONDFIELDThat is not for me to say.
