§ Major Petherickasked the Minister of Labour in what industries wages commissions, similar to that proposed for the catering trades, are in operation?
§ Mr. BevinThe primary function of the independent statutory commission proposed for the catering trade is to inquire and report whether adequate arrangements for regulating wages and conditions exist or do not exist in the various sections of the industry. There is no other case of a statutory commission for this purpose in other industries in which in general adequate arrangements already exist.
