HC Deb 18 November 1953 vol 520 c168W
80. Mr. H. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the composition of the Northern Province (Tanganyika) Labour Utilisation Board; what representation there will be of the employees; and what will be the functions of the Board.

Mr. Lyttelton

The Board consists of ten representatives of employers and eight members nominated by Government but if a Bill now before the Legislative Council is passed the membership will be changed to thirteen representatives of employers, a senior administrative officer of the Province and the senior labour officer at Arusha, who will represent the interests of African employees. Its sole function is to recruit labour for its registered members under licence in accordance with the Master and Native Servants (Recruitment) Ordinance.
