Sir F. HALLasked the Minister of Labour whether the British representatives on the Administrative Council of the International Labour Bureau have submitted proposals for the modification of the eight-hour day convention; and what is the present position of the matter?
§ Mr. BETTERTONThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The governing body has adopted, on the proposal of the French Government representative, a resolution requesting the director to prepare reports on the conventions adopted at Washington in 1919, and to lay each report before the governing body as soon as it is completed.
