§ 55. Mr. TINKERasked the Minister of Health whether he is giving further consideration to the application made to him by the deputation from the Lancashire County Council asking him that the Relief Regulation Order of 1930 should be relaxed so as to allow relief to be given to those workers in the Lancashire cotton trade who, when they work a full week, get less than 25s.?
§ Sir K. WOODNo, Sir. The decision conveyed in my letter to the county council, of which the hon. Member has a copy, was reached after full consideration of the representations made by the deputation.
§ Mr. TINKERHas the right hon. Gentleman taken any steps at all to improve the position of the cotton 607 workers in Lancashire, a great percentage of whom have only 30s. for a full week?
§ Sir K. WOODThat is another matter.
