TREFOREST TRADING ESTATE. (Hansard, 2 March 1939)

§ 74. Mr. Pearson
asked the Minister of Labour what number of factories on the Treforest Trading Estate come under the Trade Board rates for the payment of their employés; and will he enumerate the firms?

§ Mr. E. Brown
I am making inquiries and will write to the hon. Member.

§ Major Colfox
May I ask you, Mr. Speaker, whether it is in order for an hon. Member to ask a question without standing up?

§ Mr. Speaker
The best way of asking questions is to stand up, and then I can see if the hon. Member is here.

§ Mr. Thorne
On a point of Order. Is it not the fact that sometimes when we stand up you ask us to sit down?

§ Mr. Pearson
Does the right hon. Gentleman appreciate the importance of the foreign immigrant firms paying fair rates of wages?

§ Mr. Brown
I have already said that I have not seen the report and that I am going to make inquiries and will let the hon. Member know.
