Major COLVILLE
asked the Minister of Labour if she can state the amount paid in wages to workers in the fabric glove industry during the months of October, 1929, and October, 1930, respectively?
Mr. LAWSON
I regret that the figures desired are not available.
Major COLVILLE
Could the hon. Gentleman give any indication of the state of affairs in this industry as regards wages?
Mr. LAWSON
I can only repeat that the figures are not available.
Mr. KELLY
