HC Deb 14 February 1951 vol 484 c63W
90. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on the Wages and Conditions of Employment Ordinance, 1950, of Tanganyika, for the regulation of wages and conditions of employment with which it deals; and in how many other territories of East and Central Africa the ordinance is effectual.

Mr. J. Griffiths

This legislation was passed by the Tanganyika Legislative Council only last week. It provides for the establishment of minimum wages boards and wages councils and also encourages joint consultation in industry by providing for the establishment of staff committees in individual undertakings. It applies only to Tanganyika.
