§ 6 and 7. Mr. LAWTHERasked the Minister of Labour (1) if she will publish as a White Paper the names of and amounts received by chairmen of courts of referees for the last available year;
(2) if she will publish in her annual report of the Ministry of Labour the names and amounts received in that year by chairmen of courts of referees?
§ Miss BONDFIELDI propose to issue a White Paper on this subject, covering probably the period of six months up to 31st March. This will make it unnecessary to include these details in the annual report the space of which is limited.
§ Mr. LAWTHERWhile thanking my right hon. Friend for the information and for the concession, does she not think that it is advisable to include this information in the annual report?
§ Miss BONDFIELDNo, I think it would be much better in the form of a White Paper.
