HC Deb 12 May 1969 vol 783 c163W
68. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in what service industries in Hong Kong the hours worked by employees are still not in accordance with the standards laid down by the International Labour Organisation; and what steps he has taken to deal with the matter.

Mr. Whitlock

As the United Kingdom, the Member State concerned, has not ratified those International Labour Organisation coventions which relate to hours of work, the question of applying those conventions to any Hong Kong industry does not arise.
