32. Mr. Creech Jonesasked the Under secretary of State for the Colonies whether a woman welfare officer has been appointed in Nigeria to look after the well-being of the families of colliery labourers at Enugu; and whether women officers have been appointed either for labour or welfare work in any other Colonies?
§ Mr. George HallThe Answer to the first part of the Question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part of the Question, there are women officers appointed in several Colonies for welfare work, and in certain Eastern territories for inspection work in connection with the employment of children. I am arranging for a complete review to be made of these activities in all the Colonial Dependencies.
