HC Deb 30 July 1923 vol 167 c1073W
Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will represent to the National Joint Council for Dock Labour the desirability of at once taking steps to put into effect the recommendations of Lord Shaw's Committee for the decasualisation of dock labour, including the maintenance of unemployed casual labour?

Mr. BETTERTON

The National Joint Council are fully aware of the recommendations referred to and have them under consideration on a number of occasions. I do not think it is necessary for me to make representations to the Council on the subject.
