HC Deb 07 July 1938 vol 338 cc588-9
81. Mr. Dobbie

asked the Attorney-General whether he has considered the terms of the contract of service between the Association of Official Shorthand Writers and its employés; and whether he will lay a copy of this document upon the Table of the House of Commons?

The Attorney-General (Sir Donald Somervell)

The terms of the contract of service between the Association of Official Shorthand Writers and its employés are a matter for the association which is a co-operative organisation of which all the employés are members. I am not in a position, therefore, to lay a copy of the document asked for before the House of Commons. I have no reason to think that the terms of the contract are other than fair and reasonable.
