Mr. MANDER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is the intention of the Government to ratify the Draft Convention of the League of Nations, 1925, concerning night work in bakeries?

Mr. CLYNES

The question of ratifying the Draft Convention adopted by the International Labour Conference in 1925 in regard to night work in bakeries will be considered by the Government. No decision has yet been taken.

Mr. MANDER

asked the Home Secretary whether it is the intention of the Government to include in the forthcoming Factories Act a Clause prohibiting night baking?

Mr. CLYNES

This question will be considered by the Government in connection with the Factories Bill, but I am not at present in a position to make any statement.
