HC Deb 27 March 1946 vol 421 c349
21. Mr. H. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether workmen's compensation laws are in force in all East African Colonies; and if he is satisfied with the operation of these laws.

Mr. georģe Hall

There is such legislation in Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesia. In Kenya, Uganda, and Tanganyika legislation is being prepared. Meanwhile, by agreement with employers, claims are paid on lines laid down in model legislation. A Bill has been prepared in Zanzibar and its scope is under discussion with the Resident. As regards the second part of the Question, I am arranging for my Labour Advisory Committee to make a new study of the matter.

Mr. Hynd

In studying that matter, will my right hon. Friend have regard to the recent Report on this subject?

Mr. Hall

Yes, Sir.
