Conciliation Committees. 



[Dbc., 



It should be borne in mind that these rates have been con- 

 firmed on the application of the Committees for the areas con- 

 cerned. For the period of the operation of a confirmed 

 agreement the rates specified in the agreement form an implied 

 term of the contract of employment of every worker of the class 

 in the particular area to which the agreement applies. 



Agreements have also been reached by the Conciliation 

 Committees in 30 additional areas, but the Committees in these 

 cases have not made application to the Minister for confirma- 

 tion of the agreements. In 7 of these areas the agreements 

 having been made for a comparatively short period have already 

 lapsed. Particulars of the current agreements relating to adult 

 male workers in the remaining 23 areas are given below : —
