§ Mr. HAYDAYasked the Minister of Labour whether she has any information upon the question whether the results of the inquiry made in 1925 into conditions in the light refreshment and dining room (non-licensed) branch of the catering trade may be regarded as representing the conditions in that branch of trade at the present time?
§ Mr. LAWSONMy right hon. Friend caused an inquiry to be made during August and September last with regard to wages and conditions in the catering trade. The results of this inquiry are not yet complete, but they appear to indicate that the general level of earnings in the branch to which my hon. Friend refers have not changed since 1925.
