HC Deb 13 July 1950 vol 477 cc1523-4
13. Mr. T. Reid

asked the Minister of Labour when he expects to have the Report of the Catering Wages Commission.

Mr. Isaacs

I am informed that the Commission have reached an advanced stage in their consideration of this matter, but I am not in a position to state when I can expect to have their report.

Mr. McCorquodale

Does the right hon. Gentleman realise that it is increasingly important for the hotel industry to have this report, so that they can make plans for the Exhibition year?

Mr. Isaacs

I assure the right hon. Gentleman that the Committee is working on that basis. I informed the House a short time ago that there was no prospect of getting the report in time for legislation this year. However, I am satisfied that it will not be very long delayed—only a matter of weeks.
