HC Deb 01 December 1958 vol 596 c97W
Mr. Pargiter

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the number of European and African miners, respectively, who are unemployed in the copper mining industry in Northern Rhodesia since the resumption of work after the recent strike of European miners.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The Governor informs me that at present there are virtually no unemployed Africans or Europeans within the mining industry. The recent Copperbelt strike has not affected the position since all African and European employees including those dismissed immediately before the strike have been taken back by the mining companies.
