Thank you for your letter of 23 February about
the employment of women on work at night in Hong Kong.
Since we shall be meeting on 17 March to discuss
the experiences of Mr. Pendergast and Mr. Gibson
during their recent visit to the Far East, may I
suggest that we should take that opportunity to
discuss the points you have raised about the exercise
by the Commissioner of Labour in Hong Kong of his
powers to allow night work by women
sin Hong Kong
Mr. J. MacGougan, General Secretary of the National
Union of Tailors and Garment Workers and
Mr. Milhench, Secretary of the United Textile Factory
Workers' Association, have also written to me about
this and I am asking them to join us at our meeting
on the 17th if that will be convenient to them.
I am writing in similar terms to Mr. Gibson,
from whom I have also received a letter about night
work for women in Hong Kong.
