*La/Co Mr. John Rankin (Glasgow, Govan): 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 bargaining and not for regulation on an international basis.
23rd June 1969

It is my policy, as it has been that of my predecessors, to
promote the establishment of internationally acceptable labour
standards in the dependent territories. To this end, these
territories have been encouraged to work towards the regulation
of hours of work in the clothing and other industry either through
collective bargaining or through legislation, as may be appropriate
in the local circumstances.
