for "trafficking in the blood of nations". Mainwaring also moved to delete a provision which would criminalise possession of documents which if distributed to the armed forces would incite disaffection, pointing to the fact that some parts of holy scripture might be included within the description and declaring his certainty that his own possessions included enough to keep him in prison forever. He also moved a motion in 1936 that called for the government to be given full power to take action against profiteers in the event of war; this motion was agreed. At the 1935 general election, Mainwaring had to defend his seat against the Communist leader Harry Pollitt. The Communists caused some amusement when they appealed to Labour to withdraw their candidate to stop splitting the working-class vote. Mainwaring succeeded in increasing his majority to 8,433. Employment law In the new Parliament, Mainwaring won sixth place on the ballot to introduce a Private Member's Bill and chose to try to make employers liable for injuries to workmen caused by the negligence of fellow workmen.

He was again met with a motion for rejection which was passed by only six votes (115 to 109).

When the Minister of Labour went in a delegation to South Wales to unveil charity gifts, Mainwaring urged the people of South Wales to refuse to meet them and to "turn the insult back in their faces". He criticised the Government for failing to direct industry to the "Special areas" in South Wales suffering unemployment, pointing to statistics which showed they had been developed elsewhere. Rhodesia Outside his normal area, Mainwaring was named as a member of the Royal Commission on Rhodesia in 1938. He went on a long visit to the territories in August 1938 to gather evidence, and then went on to visit the Rand in South Africa. Mainwaring endorsed the report of the Royal Commission which called for a single Governor for the three territories of Northern
