§ 10. Mr. J. Cooperasked the Minister of Labour to what extent it is proposed to take legislative action arising out of the recommendations of the National Dock Labour Board submitted to him in February, 1949.
§ Mr. RobensThe Board suggested that there should be legislation to strengthen the law as regards responsibility for sanitary conveniences. Responsibility has, however, been accepted by the port authorities and the firms concerned, modernisation of sanitary conveniences and various other improvements in health and welfare facilities are proceeding, and as at present advised I do not think further legislation on this point is required at the moment.
