§ Mr. Harveyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the recommendations of the Committee appointed by the Government of Uganda in November, 1937, to inquire into the labour situation in Uganda have been carried out; and whether he has had any recent report as to the labour situation there?
§ Colonel StanleyThe committee to which my hon. Friend refers made a large number of recommendations, including the appointment of a Labour Advisory Committee, and of a Labour Secretary as part of the central Government machinery. The Governor has appointed a Labour Advisory Committee composed of four officials and four unofficials, and a special Labour Department is shortly to be set up under the control of a senior administrative officer. A recent report from the Governor shows that he is fully alive to the importance of labour problems which are being tackled as vigorously as the European staff situation permits.
