HC Deb 17 March 1930 vol 236 cc1678-9
10. Major GRAHAM POLE

asked the Secretary of State for India the reasons which led to the discontinuance of the Labour Bureau under the Central Department of Industries and Labour of the Government of India; and whether any provision has been made by local governments elsewhere similar to the establishment of the labour office in Bombay?

Mr. BENN

The Labour Bureau of the Government of India was discontinued on the recommendation of the Indian Retrenchment Committee. There are labour offices in Madras, Calcutta and Rangoon but on a smaller scale than the Bombay office.
