HC Deb 24 November 1930 vol 245 c890
50. Major COLVILLE

asked the Minister of Labour if she can state the amount paid in wages to workers in the fabric glove industry during the months of October, 1929, and October, 1930, respectively?

Mr. LAWSON

I regret that the figures desired are not available.

Major COLVILLE

Could the hon. Gentleman give any indication of the state of affairs in this industry as regards wages?

Mr. LAWSON

I can only repeat that the figures are not available.

Mr. KELLY

Has the hon. Gentleman any knowledge as to the wages paid to the individual workers—sweated wages?
