HC Deb 16 November 1937 vol 329 c208
34. Mr. Mander

asked the President of the Board of Trade the position with regard to the ratification by Great Britain of the International Labour Office maritime conventions?

Mr. Stanley

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour to the hon. Member for Stepney on 4th November. The White Paper to which my right hon. Friend referred will include the decisions on the Draft Conventions and recommendations adopted at the Maritime Session of the International Labour Conference in October last.

Mr. Mander

Can the right hon. Gentleman say how soon it is likely to be published?

Mr. Stanley

I think my right hon. Friend said that it would be published before the Spring.

Mr. J. Griffiths

He did not say which.
