HC Deb 18 March 1952 vol 497 c2083
19. Miss Ward

asked the Minister of Labour how far the committee to be appointed to consider the retention of the elderly in employment, by its terms of reference, covers women as well as men.

Sir W. Monckton

The terms of reference specifically relate to men and women equally.

Miss Ward

Is it not really a pity to have cut down an establishment which may be able to train women until the committee has published its findings?

Hon. Members

Answer.

Sir W. Monckton

I am afraid I was not following what my hon. Friend was referring to.

Hon. Members

Shame!
