§ Mr. KELLYasked the Minister of Pensions, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether his attention has been called to young persons being employed on window-cleaning for Government Departments and the danger to these youths when engaged on such work, and is the fair-wage clause insisted upon for these young people?
Mr. HUDSONThe First Commissioner of Works already has under consideration, as a result of representations made to him recently by a trade union, the question of the employment of youths in connection with window-cleaning contracts let by his Department. Contractors are required to observe the terms of the fair-wages clause in respect of all persons employed by them in the execution of the contract.
