HC Deb 29 October 1945 vol 415 c25
76. Mr. Driberg

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Burma if he is aware that the Research and Statistics Sub-Committee of the All-Burma Trade Union Congress is now engaged in preparing a revised cost-of-living index for Burma; and if he will ensure that any official co operation that may be needed for this work is made available.

The Under-Secretary of State for Burma (Mr. A. Henderson)

I have no information about this and have ascertained that no approach has yet been made by the All-Burma Trade Union Congress to the Burma Government on this matter.

Mr. Driberg

If such an approach is made, could my hon. and learned Friend say that it will be sympathetically considered?

Mr. Henderson

Yes, Sir.
