§ MR. KEIR HARDIETo ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that, in connection with the lock-out of dock workers at Gibraltar, Moors are being imported by the employers, under contracts endorsed by Sir George White the Governor to take the place of the locked-out labourers; and whether he will advise that the endorsement of such contracts be in future withheld.
(Answer.) I sent a despatch to the Governor on the 27th ultimo asking for information as to the introduction of Moorish labourers into Gibraltar, and expect to receive a reply shortly.—(Colonial Office.)
