HC Deb 21 July 1938 vol 338 c2440W
Mr. Kelly

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will state the rate of wages paid to men employed in the tin mining industry of Cornwall and the china clay industry of Cornwall?

Mr. E. Brown

So far as I am aware there is no collective agreement between organisations of employers and work-people in the tin mining industry in Cornwall fixing rates of wages, and I am not in possession of information as to the rates paid by individual employers. In the china clay industry the standard minimum rate for adult time workers fixed by agreement between the British China Clay Producers' Federation, Limited, and the Transport and General Workers' Union is 1s. per hour.
