§ Mr. ALFRED DAVIES (Clitheroe)asked the Minister of Labour whether he will take steps to establish a Trade Board for those employed in banks?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAAs at present advised, I do not consider that the circumstances of the case justify the application of the Trade Boards Acts to banking, nor is it clear that the Trade Boards Acts are applicable to banking. Suggestions have been made to me with regard to the formation of a Whitley Council, and in this connection I would refer my hon. Friend to the answers which I gave my 2423W hon. Friends the Members for Wednesbury (Mr. A. Short) and St. Helens (Mr. Sexton) on 16th June, a copy of which I am sending him.
