asked the Secretary of State for India details of the proposed Bill presented to the Assembly recently dealing with hours of work and weekly rest-day for workers in India?

I presume that my hon. Friend is referring to the Indian Railways (Amendment) Bill. This Bill has been introduced in the Legislative Assembly and referred to a Select Committee, which has proposed certain amendments. I have no information as to what has happened since the Select. Committee's report was presented. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of the Bill as amended by the Select Committee.
