HC Deb 18 May 1933 vol 278 cc499-500
5. Mr. HALL-CALNE

asked the Minister of Labour the estimated cost of Great Britain's contributions to the International Labour Office; and whether he will consider the desirability of issuing a considered report as to the estimated value of the work achieved so far as it affects this country?

Sir H. BETTERTON

The estimated amount of Great Britain's contributions in the financial year 1933–34 towards the expenses of the International Labour Organisation is £59,500. The annual reports of the Ministry of Labour contain statements of the work of the International Labour Organisation in each year and on this basis it is possible for my hon. Friend and others to form their own opinion of its value.
