HC Deb 17 December 1952 vol 509 cc216-7W
121. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what negotiating machinery exists for the consideration of conditions of service and grievances in respect of senior members of the Colonial Service; whether he will recommend to Governors and colonial Governments the encouragement of existing or a suitable new organisation of senior civil servants who could represent their members on the above matters.

Mr. Lyttelton

There are Civil Service Associations representing senior as well as junior staffs in nearly all Territories and Whitley Councils are being increasingly used. The need for consulting representative bodies is well understood by Colonial Governments.
