MR. ANTHONY ROYLE
Her Majesty's Government have been in close consultation with the Government of Hong Kong about the Trade Union Registration (Amendment) Bill 1970, which was issued for general consideration early in August. The Bill went before the Labour Advisory Board in Hong Kong, on which both workers and employers are represented, on the 15th of October.
Amendments to the draft Bill are now being considered by the Hong Kong Government in the light of the views of the Labour Advisory Poard and those of other organisations and individuals.
