HC Deb 23 November 1925 vol 188 c968W
Colonel DAY

asked the Home Secretary what instructions were given to Mr. Williams, who attended the International Labour Conference at Geneva on the question of night baking and weekly rest in glassworks; and when it is proposed to introduce legislation dealing with these subjects?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

On the question of night baking, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on Thursday last to the hon. Member for Govan (Mr. Maclean). As regards the weekly rest in glassworks, I would refer him to the Report of the British Delegates, which is mentioned in that reply. The proposed Convention was not adopted by the Conference, the necessary two-thirds majority required by the Treaty not having been obtained. It is not proposed to introduce legislation on either subject.
