HC Deb 12 November 1918 vol 110 c2512W
Sir WILLIAM COLLINS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the Committee appointed to inquire into the question of equal pay for equal work in the case of men and women is likely to make its Report?

Mr. BONAR LAW

As indicated in my reply to the hon. Member for the Attercliffe Division of Sheffield on 29th October, this subject is one of great complexity, calling for recommendations which may have far-reaching effects. In these circumstances much investigation is necessary, and the Committee do not anticipate being able to make a very early Report.
