Mr. Skinnard
asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will advise the withdrawal of the Labour Supply and Utilisation Ordinance, 1948, by the Government of Tanganyika in view of the objections of the African population.
Mr. Creech Jones
No, Sir, I am unaware of any widespread African objection to this Ordinance. I should add that the Ordinance has not been brought into operation.
Mr. Skinnard
As the Ordinance has not been brought into operation, would it not be wise to consider its abrogation?
Mr. Creech Jones
No, not at this stage. It may be required a little later.
