HC Deb 01 March 1945 vol 408 c1570W
Viscountess Astor

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the Report of his inquiry into the employment of children and young persons is likely to be published.

Mr. H. Morrison

As I informed my hon. Friend the Member for Westhoughton (Mr. Rhys Davies) on 21st December, arrangements were made for consultations between the Departments concerned and representatives of the local authorities, with a view to seeing how far agreement can be reached as to future policy. Those consultations are now proceeding, and I am not yet in a position to make any statement.
