§ 98. Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Labour approximately how many foreign domestic workers are now employed in this country; and if he is satisfied with the existing supervision in respect of their working hours and conditions.
§ Sir W. MoncktonI regret that the information asked for in the first part of the Question is not available. As to the second part, where permission is required for the employment of a foreign domestic worker such permission is not granted unless the Ministry is satisfied that the wages and other conditions of employment are not less favourable than those commonly accorded to British workers for similar work.
