HC Deb 21 July 1943 vol 391 c885
36. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is satisfied with the apprenticeship laws and provisions in the West Indies; and whether he will consider the introduction of proper apprenticeship Regulations for the training of young workers in skilled jobs?

Colonel Stanley

I consider that the legislation on this subject is, generally speaking, adequate; the difficulty is to ensure the effective observance of it. Recommendations to meet that difficulty are mentioned in paragraph 301 of Sir Frank Stockdale's recent Report on Development and Welfare in the West Indies, and are now under consideration by the West Indian Governments.
