Your telegram No. 495: Hours of Work for
Women and Young Persons.
I should be grateful to receive as soon
as possible a copy of the proposals which have
been put to the Labour Advisory Board.
Information reaching us via the I.T.W.F. suggests
that regulating powers will provide for hours
of work to be fixed "to between 10 and 8" and
"between 60 and 48". Our understanding here
throughout has been that the effect of the new
regulations would be to reduce hours of work to
8 hours per day and 48 per week. Grateful for
your earliest clarification.
