HC Deb 28 July 1930 vol 242 c14
23. Mr. DOUGLAS HACKING

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will instruct our representative in Soviet Russia to report upon the conditions of employment of those who are engaged in the production of timber within the Soviet Union?

Mr. DALTON

His Majesty's Ambassador has already furnished my right hon. Friend with reports on Soviet labour legislation, and the House was given the substance of these reports, as applying to the timber industry, in the reply to the question asked by the hon. Member for Eastbourne (Mr. Majoribanks) on the 7th of July.

Mr. MARJORIBANKS

Do the Government propose to take any action as a result of that investigation?
