HC Deb 30 July 1959 vol 610 c132W
66. Mr. Braine

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations if he is satisfied with the existing legislation in the South African High Commission territories on labour matters; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alport

The existing legislation has proved adequate up to date, but, having regard to the increased pace of economic development in the High Commission Territories, the High Commissioner has been asked to review the existing labour legislation, and, to assist him in this, it is proposed, in a few months' time, to arrange for an officer experienced in these matters to visit the High Commission Territories for discussions with the Administrations.
