HC Deb 11 November 1958 vol 595 c27W
61. Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what protest he has received from the General Workers' Union in Malta against the lack of guarantees to workers concerning the continuity of employment or the provision of alternative work; and what was his reply.

Mr. Profumo

My right hon. Friend has received a statement by the General Workers' Union with a Resolution on this subject, a copy of which I am putting in the Library. My right hon. Friend has also received a request from the union for discussions on economic and employment prospects in Malta. My right hon. Friend has welcomed this suggestion and hopes to meet union representatives in London at the end of this week.
