HC Deb 05 June 1924 vol 174 cc1494-6W
Mr. BAKER

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether, in view of the low wages paid by Messrs. J. Lyons and Company, Limited, at the British Empire Exhibition, and the profits made by this firm, he will take immediate and drastic action to limit the catering profits at the British Empire Exhibition?

Mr. LUNN

As I have already informed my hon. Friend on more than one occasion, my Department has no information regarding the wages paid by Messrs. J. Lyons and Company, Limited at the British Empire Exhibition. In any case, I have no power to limit the profits which they may make at the exhibition.
