Labour Recruitment (Northern Rhodesia)

HC Deb 20 November 1946 vol 430 c124W

105. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies to what extent labour is still being recruited in Northern Rhodesia on other than a voluntary basis; and how long this policy, which is contrary to the spirit of I.L.O. conventions, is to be pursued.

Mr. Creech Jones

All forms of compulsory recruitment of labour by the Government of Northern Rhodesia have entirely ceased.
