§ Sir W. SUGDENasked the Minister of Labour what steps he is taking to remedy the wide differences of wage earnings by similar trade and vocational employés in similar types of municipalities; and whether he will consult with the Municipal Officers' Guilds and similar associations in respect to such remedies?
§ Sir M. BARLOWThe regulation of the wages of employés of municipal authorities is not a matter in which I have any authority to interfere, and I cannot see my way therefore to take the action suggested by my hon. Friend.
