7. Whitley Commission on Labour
The Royal Commission on Labour in 1931 pointed out the need for
systematic collection of labour statistics. It observed that the policy
must be built on facts as the uncertainty of facts would lead to
confusion and conflict regarding its aim. The Commission
recommended the adoption of suitable legislation enabling the
Competent Authority to collect and collate information regarding the
living, working and socio-economic conditions of industrial labour.
