HC Deb 22 December 1937 vol 330 cc1960-1
40. Mr. McEntee

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the fact that the annual current revenue of the Kenya and Uganda Railway is expected to be £2,500,000, he will represent to the local Government the desirability of considering improved conditions for the staff?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

The conditions of service of certain classes of the staff employed on the Kenya and Uganda Railway have recently been reviewed by the railway administration, and I see no reason to suggest a further review of these conditions at this juncture.

Mr. McEntee

In view of the fact that there has been considerable increase of revenue, will the right hon. Gentleman not consider advising that the cases of those members of the staff which have not been reviewed, should now be reviewed?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

To the best of my knowledge, there was a comprehensive review, but if the hon. Member has any individual cases to bring to my attention, I will look into the matter.
