HC Deb 18 November 1958 vol 595 cc132-3W
95. Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been drawn to an article, "Exploitation in Uganda," published in the Kenya Weekly News of 5th September, 1958, which purports to describe a case of abuse of apprenticeship, a copy of which has been sent to him; and what action the Uganda Government intends to take.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Yes. The practices referred to in the article would be contrary to the Minimum Wages legislation in Uganda, but since the author was unable to name either the apprentice or the employer no action could be taken by the Uganda Government.
