HC Deb 18 February 1958 vol 582 cc1028-9
39. Mr. Wilfred Paling

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies in which colonial and trust territories, respectively, trade union leaders have the freedom to visit employer-owned labour camps and places of employment and work for the purpose of spreading trade union propaganda and for the purpose of organising labour, as distinct from the freedom extended to labour officers.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

As in this country, it is entirely within an employer's discretion whether he allows trade union organisers access to his property or places of employment. Comprehensive information on the practice of all employers in all territories is not available to me.
