§ 34. Sir L. Plummerasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps have been taken and are being considered by the Government of Northern Rhodesia to counteract discrimination in employment, including discrimination on grounds of race, in view of the recent Convention adopted by the International Labour Organisation at Geneva.
§ Mr. ProfumoThe Convention was adopted only last month and as Her Majesty's Government have not yet decided what action to take the question does not at present arise.
§ Sir L. PlummerDo Her Majesty's Government see any reason why the Convention should not be applied to Northern Rhodesia?
§ Mr. ProfumoI am afraid that that is a hypothetical question.
