HC Deb 28 July 1938 vol 338 c3342W
Mr. Riley

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what are the average monthly rates of wages paid to coloured artisans and clerks in the Government service in Northern Rhodesia, and the approximate rates paid to Europeans doing corresponding work?

Mr. M. MacDonald

Rates of wages of artisans and clerks in the Government service in Northern Rhodesia vary from 15s. to £7 per month, with rations. Europeans in the Government service do not perform comparable duties; the second part of the question does not therefore arise.
