HC Deb 12 June 1913 vol 53 c1804W
Mr. NEEDHAM

asked the President of the Board of Trade when the Report of the Industrial Council will be published in respect of the reference of 14th June, 1912, on the subject of industrial agreements?

Mr. BUXTON

I understand that the Industrial Council are now considering their Report, and it is expected that they will be in a position to present it in July.

Mr. NEEDHAM

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Industrial Council have considered Sir George Askwith's Report on the Canadian Industrial Disputes Investigation Act; and, if so, will he publish their conclusions in regard to that Report?

Mr. BUXTON

Sir George Askwith's Report on the Canadian Industrial Disputes Investigation Act has not been specifically referred to the Industrial Council for their opinion, and I am not able to say how far, if at all, the Council will, in their Report upon their present inquiry into industrial agreements, make observations upon the subjects dealt with by Sir George Askwith in his Canadian Report.
