Major HENDERSONasked the Minister of Labour whether he has received representations from the Scottish Council for Women's Trades in regard to the provisions of the Trade Boards Acts being applied to the home-knitting industry; 46W and, if so, what action he proposes to take in the matter?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe answer to the first part of my hon. and gallant Friend's question is in the affirmative. Home-knitting is carried on in connection with more than one trade, and I have caused inquiry to be made into the conditions under which this work is carried on with a view to the application of the Trade Boards Acts if that course is expedient.
