HC Deb 16 July 1929 vol 230 c262W
Mr. WELLOCK

asked the Secretary for Mines if he will consider taking the initiative in calling immediately an ad hoc conference composed of representatives of miners, mineowners, and of Governments, concerned in the European coalfields, to be assisted by the Inter-national Labour Office, with a view to securing an early reduction in the hours of employment of miners?

Miss BONDFIELD

I have been asked to reply. My hon. Friend was informed in answer to his question of 8th July of the action that was already being taken by the League of Nations Economic Committee and the International Labour Office. There is nothing further I can add at present.
