§ Sir R. COOPERasked the President of the Board of Trade to what use the Report of the inquiry into industrial agreements by the Industrial Council has been put since the outbreak of war, seeing that during that time so much industrial unrest has existed, and still exists, in various important industries?
§ Mr. PRETYMANI am sending the hon. Member a copy of the Report in question, from which he will see that it is doubtful whether the recommendations of the council bear very directly upon the labour questions which have arisen as a result of the special war conditions. Some of the recommendations would require legislation, and that is, I fear, in existing circumstances, impracticable at present.
