§ Mr. HARRY SEYMOUR FOSTERasked the Secretary of State for War what steps are taken to ensure the observance of the Fair Wages Resolution of this House in respect of War Office contracts where the work is executed abroad?
§ Mr. HALDANEThe object of this House in passing the Resolution was, I think, to improve the conditions of labour in the United Kingdom. If, however, fully substantiated representations should be made regarding the wages paid on an Army contract executed outside the 767W United Kingdom, the propriety of entrusting further orders to the contractor in question would, of course, receive consideration.
