HC Deb 24 July 1929 vol 230 cc1336-7W
Mr. MILLAR

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether the wages of the workers in the Cupar beet sugar factory and other beet sugar factories drawing the Government subsidy are subject to the operation of a fair wages clause?

Dr. ADDISON

The answer is in the affirmative except where, as provided in the British Sugar (Subsidy) Act, 1925, wages are paid at a rate agreed upon by a joint industrial council representing the employer and the persons employed.
