§ Major HUNTasked the Minister of National Service whether complaints have been received by insurance agents who refuse to adopt the block system; and whether, seeing that this block system is a form of sweated labour, what steps he I proposes to take in the matter?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI have been asked to reply to this question. I am not aware that complaints of the nature referred to by the hon. Member have been received; the matter would appear to be one in the first place for consideration by the agents in the companies they represent.
§ Mr. DUNCAN MILLARasked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of the failure of many of the large insurance companies to provide a war bonus for their agents and employés, he is prepared to take any action in the matter?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANMy right hon. Friend is unable to add anything to the reply given by the hon. Member for Newbury on 12th June last.
