§ 8. Mr. Louis Smithasked the Minister of Labour whether he anticipates that he will receive the report of the committee considering the question of holidays with pay in time to take any action on its recommendations during the coming summer?
§ Mr. E. BrownI am not in a position at present to add anything to the reply given on 3rd February to the hon. Member for Dewsbury (Mr. Riley), a copy of which I am sending to my hon. Friend.
§ Mr. SmithMay I ask my right hon. Friend whether, on receipt of this report, he proposes to publish it within a reasonable time?
§ Mr. BrownI cannot say until I have received it. Perhaps the hon. Member will put the question down again when I receive the report, which I expect to do shortly.
§ Mr. LeachIf in the meantime this matter comes before the League of Nations Office, will the right hon. Gentleman undertake to instruct his delegates not to queer the pitch?
