§ 63. Mr. DAVID GRENFELLasked the Home Secretary if he will include in the forthcoming Bill to regulate the hours of labour for young persons employed in the distributive trades provisions requiring the payment of minimum rates of wages?
§ Sir J. GILMOURThe provisions to be included in the Bill have not yet been finally settled, but I may say that it is not intended to include any provision relating to wages.
§ Mr. GRENFELLIs it not the case that the Committee of inqury did recommend the inclusion of a provision of this kind?
§ Mr. RHYS DAVIESIn view of the very low wages which have been disclosed from time to time in connection with the payment of these young people, will the right hon. Gentleman consider very seriously whether he cannot put something into the Bill to deal with the wages of these girls?
