§ Mr. Rhys Daviesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that boys on leaving school at 14 years of age are employed in Scottish slaughterhouses as blood-boys; and whether he will take steps to prevent youngsters following this task and compel employers to engage persons of more mature age on the job?
§ Mr. E. BrownI have received no representations on this matter and I have no power to take action on the lines suggested by my hon. Friend.
