§ 49. Mr. Randallasked the Minister of Labour if periodical progress reports regarding recruitment of workers for the cotton industry have been issued; whether these reports included progress made in regard to provision of day nurseries; and if these reports will be made available.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsFigures showing the numbers of workers employed in the cotton industry are issued monthly by my Department and appear in a Press statement and in the Ministry of Labour Gazette, copies of both of which are available in the Library. For the future I have arranged to include in the monthly report placed in the Library a note of progress made in the provision of day nurseries.
