HC Deb 20 April 1931 vol 251 c616
64. Mr. McSHANE

asked the Minister of Labour what is the present position of the proposed trade board for the catering trade?

Mr. LAWSON

On 27th March the Court of Appeal by a majority decided in the Minister's favour in the proceedings which have been brought to prevent the making of this Order. A further Appeal to the House of Lords is possible and the Minister undertook to the Court of Appeal that if a petition of Appeal was lodged within six weeks from 27th March no action would be taken pending the hearing of the Appeal.
