Mr. WARDLAW-MILNE

asked the Minister of Labour whether the Government is negotiating with other European Governments with the object of securing an international conference on the hours of work in the engineering industries in Europe; and whether he has received any information from other countries pointing to their willingness to adopt the Washington Hours Convention?

The action which is being taken by the Government in this matter was stated in a reply given on the 4th February, by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary to this Ministry, to the hon. Member for Elland (Mr. Robinson), of which I am sending my hon. Friend a copy.
