HC Deb 02 July 1952 vol 503 c40W
62. Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what progress is being made in the setting up of wage councils in Singapore and Malaya; and in what industries they will be established.

Mr. Hopkinson

Legislation already exists in Malaya and draft legislation is being considered in Singapore.

As regards the second part of this Question, I have asked the High Commissioner and the Governor for up-to-date reports on progress and I will circulate the information required in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
