Mr. John Rankin, M.P. has put down the following question for oral reply on Monday, 23 June:-
2.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, why it is his policy that hours of work in the clothing industry among the dependent territories should be a matter for collective bargain- ing and not for regulation on an inter- national basis.
Because of Mr. Rankin's known interest in Hong Kong and the specific reference to the clothing industry we have reason to believe that his main target is Hong Kong.
3.
In consultation with Mr. Priddle, Deputy Labour Adviser, the attached draft submission, reply and notes for supplementaries have been prepared. I an circulating this minute by hand and would be grateful for any comments not later than 2.30 p.m. today.
