§ Colonel WOODCOCKasked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of the facts that the United States of America is not a member of the International Labour Organisation and that the proposed amendment of the United States Constitution relating to child labour has been rejected, His Majesty's Government will, in the interests of friendly relations with the United States of America, recommend that the publications of the International Labour Office, which deal exhaustively with the conditions of such labour in the United States, should be modified by the exclusion of such references?
§ Mr. BETTERTONInformation regarding labour conditions in countries which are not members of the International Labour Organisation may well be of great international interest and importance, and I cannot agree that it is in any way improper for the International Labour Office to publish such information.
