HC Deb 17 June 1931 vol 253 cc1745-6
66. Mr. MANDER

asked the Minister of Labour what steps the Government are taking in order that the provision of the Unemployment Convention of 1919, which lays down that operations of the various national systems for finding employment for workers by public exchanges shall be co-ordinated by the International Labour Office by agreement with the countries concerned, shall be carried out?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Mr. Lawson)

It has not hitherto been practicable to take any definite steps in this direction. The question of such co-ordination by the International Labour Office is referred to in the report made by the Director recently to the International Labour Conference at Geneva. The hon. Member will find the passage on page 35.
