HC Deb 02 March 1933 vol 275 c534
2. Captain PETER MACDONALD

asked the Minister of Labour what is the present position with regard to the night-work convention drafted by the International Labour Office?

Sir H. BETTERTON

The convention concerning the employment of women during the night was ratified by us in 1921. As to the position arising as a result of a recent opinion of The Hague Court regarding the meaning of an article in the convention, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to the hon. Member for Wolverhampton East (Mr. Mander) on 9th February.

Captain MACDONALD

Can my right hon. Friend say what other Governments have ratified the convention?

Sir H. BETTERTON

No, not without notice.
