87. Mr. Harold Davies

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any trade unions have been formed in Malaya since the Japanese conquest; and what steps he is taking further to develop trade unions.

Mr. Georģe Hall:

A number of trade unions have been formed under the guidance of a British trade unionist attached to the Military Administration. It is the policy to develop trade unionism and two additional British trade unionists are being appointed to the service of the Civil Government which took over the administration on 1st April.
