§ 19. Mr. Rankinasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies why the Northern Rhodesian Government proposes to station the recently appointed trade union officer in Lusaka.
§ Mr. LytteltonNo appointment has yet been made of a specialist trade union officer to Lusaka.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsWill the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind the importance of locating the new officer in the Copper Belt, where the officer who recently resigned did so much good work?
§ Mr. LytteltonI am in communication with the Government of Northern Rhodesia on this point. So far, they have only told me that there are other well-established unions with which they wish to keep in touch. The matter is not yet settled, and I take note of the right hon. Gentleman's point.
