HC Deb 02 May 1935 vol 301 cc525-6
2. Mr. MANDER

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is satisfied that the provisions of the paper-bag trade board and the stamped or pressed metal-ware trade board are being properly observed in Willenhall; and whether any recent investigations on the subject have been made by his officials?

Mr. STANLEY

According to the records of my Department there are no Willenhall firms engaged in the paper bag grade. Firms on the list of the stamped or pressed metal-wares trade board have not been inspected recently, but at the last inspection the amount of work falling within the scope of this board was found to be negligible and no infractions were disclosed.

Mr. MANDER

If I draw my hon. Friend's attention to a certain case, will he be good enough to have it investigated?

Mr. STANLEY

Yes, I shall be only too glad to do so, if the hon. Member has any information to give me.
