Major HILLSasked the Minister of Labour, whether his attention has been called to cases of sweating in the fancy leather trade; whether he is aware that the making of kit belts is being done in the homes; that the payment works out at about ld. per hour and that much of the work is being done by the help of children; and whether he will take steps to put a stop to these practices?
§ Mr. E. BROWNYes, Sir. I am having inquiry made and, when I have all the circumstances before me, I shall give the matter my careful consideration.
