HC Deb 16 October 1946 vol 427 c190W
16. Mr. H. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what action has been taken to amend trade union legislation in the colonies in accordance with the repeal of the United Kingdom Trade Disputes Act of 1927.

Mr. Creech Jones

In August last my predecessor informed Colonial Governments of the implications of the recent repeal of the United Kingdom Trade Dispute's and Trade Unions Act of 1927, and asked them to consider, and report, to what extent their trade union legislation requires to be amended so as to exclude from it any provisions analogous to those of the Act in question.
