§ 76. Mr. Brockwayasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has yet received a report from the Governor of the Leeward Islands on the number of 170W members of the Antigua Trade Union among the strikers at Mill Reef Properties.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsYes. The Acting Governor informs me that the Union contends that 75 per cent. of the 325 workers at Mill Reef were members of the Union, while the contractor claims: that less than 50 per cent. were members. The Acting Governor adds that he has been unable to verify either claim. I regret that the reply given on 28th June was based on insufficient data. I have asked the Acting Governor to inform the Union of my regrets.
