asked the Minister of Labour why no Ministers have been included in the Government delegation to this year's International Labour Conference.

The International Labour Conference takes place at Geneva for about three weeks, beginning on 19th June. It has been the practically invariable custom of Ministers of Labour to attend for part of the Conference, and I propose myself to do so for the week be- ginning 22nd June. My right hon.
