HC Deb 03 October 1939 vol 351 cc1843-4W

While Major Orde Browne was in the Colony a local officer was selected for appointment as Labour Officer. An opportunity occurred of sending this officer to Trinidad with a view to his gaining experience of conciliation work.

It is proposed to amend Chapters 104 and 105 of the Laws relating to Labour, as recommended by Major Orde Browne, and also to introduce fresh legislation regarding minimum wage, conditions of employment of women, young persons and children, the payment of workmen's compensation, and the registration of Trade Unions.

The other recommendations and suggestions are under consideration.
