HC Deb 27 October 1920 vol 133 c1751W
Mr. RAFFAN

asked the Minister of Health if he is now in a position to state when a Bill to give effect to the Washington draft convention, concerning the employment of women before and after childbirth, will be introduced; and whether he is aware that action on these lines has already been taken by the respective Governments of Belgium, France, Italy, Greece, Spain, South Africa, and Venezuela?

Dr. ADDISON

This question is at present engaging the attention of the Government, and I hope to be in a position to make an announcement shortly. I am not aware what action is being taken by foreign governments in the matter.
