WASHINGTON 48-HOURS CONVENTION.

HC Deb 14 May 1924 vol 173 cc1400-1W

Captain BERKELEY

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in any legislation introduced by the Government for carrying into effect the Washington 48-Hours Convention, employés in the distributive trades, and especially shop assistants, will be entitled to the protection afforded to other organised trades?

Mr. SHAW

The Bill will deal with the Washington Hours Convention, the provisions of which apply only to industrial undertakings, and do not cover shop assistants.
