MR. STAVELEY-HILL (Staffordshire, Kingswinford)

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the labourers engaged in the British West Indies for work on the Panama Isthmian Canal were informed that they would be permitted to taka with them their wives and families.

THE UNDER - SECRETARY OF STATE FOR the COLONIES (Mr. CHURCHILL,) Manchester, N.W.

No, Sir, not so far as I am aware.
