HC Deb 03 April 1946 vol 421 cc210-1W
95. Dr. Jeģer

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies to how many colonies and to which ones, British trade union advisers have been sent; and whether, in view of the success of the work of these advisers, this system will now be extended.

Mr. Georģe Hall:

British trade unionists arc now serving as labour officers or advisers in eight territories—Nigeria, the Gold Coast, Sierra Leone, British Guiana, the Windward Islands, Palestine, Mauritius and Malaya. The system is being extended and there will shortly be trade unionist labour officers in Kenya, Tanganyika and the Gambia, and additional officers in Nigeria, the Gold Coast and Malaya. The Government of Ceylon also contemplate the appointment of a trade unionist labour adviser.
