§ Captain TERRELLasked the Minister of Labour whether his attention has been called to the campaign in favour of a six-hours day; whether this limitation represents the view of his Department; and what in that case is the measure of its recommended applicability?
§ Mr. SHAWI am aware that a resolution in favour of a six-hours working day was passed at the last Trades Union Congress. The whole subject of the limitation of working hours is under consideration in connection with the question of the ratification of the Washington Hours Convention.
§ Mr. TURNERasked the Minister of Labour if it is intended to introduce legis- 1018W lation this Session to ratify the 48-hours working week decision arrived at the Hours Convention in Washington in 1919?
§ Mr. SHAWThe question of the ratification of the Washington Hours Convention is under consideration, and I hope to be in a position to make a statement on this subject at an early date.
