HC Deb 08 July 1947 vol 439 c208W
35. Mr. Mikardo

asked the Minister of Labour hy he has not instructed the British Government delegates to the forthcoming conference of I.L.O. to oppose acceptance of the credentials of the Greek trade union delegates not recognised by the World Federation of Trade Unions.

Mr. Isaacs

I know of no grounds on which I should have been justified in instructing the United Kingdom delegates to challenge the credentials of any member of the Greek delegation to the International Labour Conference at present meeting in Geneva. A complaint against the credentials of the Greek workers' representative was lodged with the Conference from another source and was referred for consideration and report by the Credentials Committee. The Credentials Committee unanimously rejected the complaint. This report was unanimously noted by the Conference in plenary session this morning.
