§ Sir Richard Glynasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that the Government of Antigua has threatened to pass special legislation affecting an individual hotel proprietor and to order his expulsion unless he improved his attitude to the Government, to the Antigua Trades and Labour Union, and accepted trade union 22W demands; and if he will state the appropriate procedure for the settlement of trade disputes in Antigua under the Trade Disputes Arbitration and Enquiry Act.
