HC Deb 02 July 1957 vol 572 cc89-90W
59. Mr. Lee

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies why it is required that persons applying for positions as labour officers in Nyasaland should have had an education of university standard.

Mr. Profumo

A university degree is not an essential requirement, although it might well be an advantage. Generally speaking it is important that candidates should have a good educational background, experience of industrial relations and personnel matters and administrative ability.
