HC Deb 21 July 1930 vol 241 cc1893-903

Lords Reason for insisting on certain of their Amendments to the Bill to which the Commons have disagreed considered.

Lords Reason:

The Lords insist on their amendments in page 20, line 32, and page 23, line 40, for the following Reason:

Because, in view of the serious economic consequences of the proposed compulsory legislation, they consider it essential in the national interests to provide means such as the amendments secure, without increasing the total working hours permissible, for employers and workmen, in each district to come to an agreement on the subject where both parties wish to do so.
