Mr. Maclennan

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what advice Her Majesty's Government give to British industrialists operating in South Africa about the level of wages payable to black African employees, about the practice of job reservation for whites, about the provision of separate facilities for whites and blacks on their industrial premises, about the establishment of works councils for employees and about the provision of in-service training facilities for all employees.

A note prepared by the Department on setting up subsidiary companies in South Africa, which covers many of the points listed by the hon. Member, is available on request.
