HC Deb 06 December 1933 vol 283 c1632
7. Mr. PARKINSON

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can give any information as to the Bathurst Trade Unions; and, seeing that Government recognition is given to certain Trade Unions and not to others, why such recognition is not given to the Bathurst Trade Union of which Mr. E. F. Small is Chairman?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER.

Registration of trade unions in the Gambia is now compulsory, and, according to the latest information in my possession, the only union so registered is the Bathurst Trade Union. I understand that Mr. Small is not a member of this Trade Union.
