83. Mr. Delargy

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what information he has as to the number of trades unions in British Guiana affiliated to the World Federation of Trades Unions; and the dates of such affiliation.

Mr. Lyttelton

My information is that none of the British Guiana trade unions is formally affiliated to the World Federation of Trades Unions. Members of three British Guiana trade unions were, however, present at the W.F.T.U. Conference held in Vienna last month. They are:

Mr. Ramkarran, Transport Workers Union.

Mr. A. Jackson, Post Office Workers Union.

Mr. B. B. Blackman, British Guiana Sawmill Workers Union.

84. Mr. Delargy

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what information he has as to the names of trades unions in British Guiana affiliated to the International Federation of Free Trades Unions; and the date of such affiliation.

Mr. Lyttelton

The British Guiana Labour Union was affiliated in November, 1949, and the Man Power Citizens' Association in September. 1951.
