INDUSTRIAL AGREEMENTS.

HC Deb 11 November 1937 vol 328 cc1823-4

22. Mr. Mander

asked the Minister of Labour what industries at the present time are giving consideration to the question of the best means of giving the force of law to agreements come to between employers and employed?

Mr. E. Brown

I will circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT a list of industries in which this policy is under consideration.

Mr. Mander

Is the right hon. Gentleman able to say whether the Government contemplates legislation on this subject?

Mr. Brown

That is another issue. Perhaps the hon. Member will look at the list when it appears in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the list:

• Pottery.
• Boot and Shoe Manufacture.
• Glove Making.
• Hosiery.
• Electrical Contracting. Asbestos.
• Cooperage.
• Furniture Removing.
• Lock, Latch and Key.
• Heating and Domestic Engineering.
• Quarrying.
