HC Deb 12 July 1910 vol 19 cc338-9W
Mr. DEVLIN

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention had been called to the report of Miss Margaret Irwin, of the Scottish Council of Women's Trade, on the wages and conditions of work of women workers in Belfast; and whether he proposes to include these industries under the extension of the Trade Boards Act?

Mr. BUXTON

I have seen a report by Miss Irwin on home work in Ireland. It is at present too soon to consider the extension of the scope of the Trade Boards Act.
