§ 74. Sir A. KNOXasked the Minister of Labour whether, as M. Maurette, Assistant Director of the International Labour Office, furnished a report recently on labour conditions in Japan, he will suggest to the office that a qualified representative should be sent on an analogous mission to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Mr. R. S. Hudson)The inquiry to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers was arranged under the instructions of the Governing Body of the International Labour Organisation and in agreement with the Government concerned, and other inquiries of the same character would have to be conducted in a similar manner. My right hon. Friend will, however, note my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion.
§ Sir A. KNOXWill the hon. Gentleman make representations to that effect and suggest to the International Labour Office that it is a fitting subject for inquiry?
Viscountess ASTORWould not the best way be for the hon. and gallant Gentleman to go to Geneva and help the League on?
