asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether the wages paid by Messrs. J. Lyons and Company, Limited, at the British Empire Exhibition are such as would satisfy the conditions of the Fair Wages Clause?

I have no information regarding the wages paid by Messrs. J. Lyons and Company, Limited, at the British Empire Exhibition. I may perhaps in this connection refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave on the 26th May in answer to a question asked by the hon. Member for Dewsbury (Mr. E. Harvey), and in which I alluded to the probable constitution of a works council to investigate such matters.
