§ 71. Mr. Awberyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that colonial Commissioners of Labour have, on retirement, taken important positions with employers' federations or associations; that this gives the impression to the Asian mind that there is a link between the two; that this destroys their good faith in our colonial policy; and what action he proposes to take to prevent this taking place in the future.
§ Mr. LytteltonI am aware that this has occurred in the Federation of Malaya, but I do not believe that the conclusion which the hon. Member seeks to draw is justified.
