§ 48. Mr. Abseasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware of the widespread failure in the Seychelles of employers in observing minimum wage regulations; how many prosecutions have been taken in the Seychelles against employers failing to observe these regulations; and whether he will employ labour inspectors to ensure that the regulations are maintained.
§ Mr. SandysNone of the cases of alleged failure to observe the regulations which have come to our notice since 1961 have been substantiated and no prosecutions have been undertaken. The employment of additional labour inspectors is not considered necessary.
