HC Deb 08 January 1942 vol 377 cc70-1W
Mr. Riley

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has yet reached any decision regarding the recommendations of the Royal Commission's Report on labour and social conditions in connection with the recent dispute on the Northern Rhodesian copper belt?

Mr. George Hall

I would invite my hon. Friend's attention to the statement issued by the Government of Northern Rhodesia on the recommendations of the Copperbelt Commission. This statement, copies of which were laid in the Library of the House in February last year, showed that the majority of the recommendations were accepted by Government, that some had already been implemented and that action to give effect to the remainder was in train.
