HC Deb 25 April 1933 vol 277 c15
26. Mr. D. GRENFELL

asked the Secretary of State for India what steps the Government of India propose to take with a view to implementing the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Indian Labour with reference to the present law relating to the attachment of salaries and wages?

Mr. BUTLER

The Government of India issued a circular letter to local Governments on 25th November last. Replies were asked for by 1st April and these will have to be considered before it is decided whether legislation is to be introduced.

Mr. GRENFELL

Can the hon. Gentleman say when he expects to get replies, and when he will be in a position to make a statement arising out of those replies?

Mr. BUTLER

If the hon. Member will put down a question later, I hope to be able to give him an answer.
