§ 37. Mr. Dodds-Parkerasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps have been taken, as a result of the Report of the Commission of Inquiry in Mauritius in 1944, to improve the efficiency of administrative and labour services in the Colony.
Mr. Creech JonesI am in communication with the Governor of Mauritius on his proposals for improving the administrative services on the lines recommended by the Commission of Enquiry held in 1943. The Commission's recommendations for improving the labour services have been adopted and made effective by decentralising the Labour Department and by legislation amending the Industrial Associations Ordinance as proposed in the Report. Further measures are contemplated as a result of experience gained from the setting up of the first Industrial Court in 1944, and the visit to Mauritius by an experienced trade unionist from this country last year.
