HC Deb 13 May 1924 vol 173 c1186W
Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in the event of it being decided to ratify the International Labour Convention regarding the use of lead paint, such ratification by His Majesty's Government will bind the Crown Colonies?

Mr. THOMAS

On the ratification of the Convention by this country it would be applied to the Colonies and Protectorates, subject to the provisions of Article 421 of the Treaty of Versailles.
