Description (What the record is about)
-
These files belong to the Labour Regulation Department of the Ministry of Munitions which was merged with the Wages and Arbitration Department of the Ministry of Labour early in 1919. The Ministry of Munitions began a series of MW (Munitions of War) files in 1915 for all matters to do with labour, and later introduced sub-series such as MWLR, Labour Regulation, and MWLRW, Labour Regulation Welfare. Many files in this series were destroyed before transfer to the Ministry of Labour.
Most files have LR coding only, some the full MWLR. There is only one Welfare file, LRW 188, dealing with grants for day nurseries (to be found in LAB 2/50). The LR files contain papers on wages, agreements, conferences with both sides of industry, memoranda on women's wages, unrest, and some papers of the Fair Wages Advisory Committee. There are a few papers on the Munitions of War Act, and Orders under the Act, and draft of the Wages (Temporary Regulation) Bill.
