§ 7. Mr. MANDERasked the Minister of Labour whether it is his intention to attend personally, whenever possible, meetings of the governing body of the International Labour Office; and if the Government will be represented by a Minister at any conferences called there-under?
§ Sir H. BETTERTONIt is not usual for Governments which are Members of the Governing Body to be represented by Ministers except on special occasions. My hon. Friend may be assured, however, that the views of the Government will be adequately represented.
§ Mr. MANDERWill not my right hon. Friend go there himself, if he possibly can, rather than send an official?
§ Sir H. BETTERTONIf the special occasion demanded it, I should certainly go myself; otherwise I should send a representative.
