§ Mr. AlisonAny decision resulting from the consultations which the Government is holding on the future of the Fair Wages Resolution would not contravene either of these instruments.
§ Mr. Shersbyasked the Secretary of State for Employment what representations he has received proposing the setting aside of the fair wages resolution of 1946 and the denunciation of the International Labour Organisation convention; and if he will make a statement.
