§ Mr. Hicksasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies on what lines the Masters and Servants Ordinance in Trinidad is being revised; and whether he can give any information on the arrangements for the statutory fixing of wages therein?
Mr. M. MacDonaldI have not yet received a copy of the Bill to amend the Trinidad Masters and Servants Ordinance, but I understand that its object is to eliminate the penalty of imprisonment for breaches of contracts between employers and employed. The statutory fixing of wages is already governed by the Labour (Minimum Wage) Ordinance, 1935.
