HC Deb 12 December 1912 vol 45 c785W
Mr. BARNES

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he has yet taken any steps to extend the Trade Boards Act to shirt making?

Mr. ROBERTSON

Shirt making is among the trades which are now receiving consideration in connection with the contemplated Provisional Order making a cautious extension of the Schedule of the Trade Boards Act. We shall not be in a position to come to a definite conclusion until we are in receipt of all the necessary information as to the conditions of this and other trades which is now being obtained.
