HC Deb 10 July 1936 vol 314 cc1545-6W
Mr. CREECH JONES

asked the Secretary, of State for Dominion Affairs, whether it is proposed to apply International Labour Office conventions applic- able to Basutoland, Bechuanaland and Swaziland to these territories; and, if not, on what principles and for what purpose this policy is framed?

Mr. M. MacDONALD

It is the policy to give effect in these Territories to the provisions of International Labour Conventions to which His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom are a party, so far as the Conventions are applicable to the Territories having regard to local conditions.
