HC Deb 11 June 1903 vol 123 c637
SIR MANCHERJEE BHOWNAGGREE

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India if he has received from the Government of India any statement in connection with the mission of delegates sent from Natal to settle the conditions regarding indentured Coolie labour; whether any settlement has been arrived at on the point of allowing the labourers to remain in the colony after the expiry of their indentures; and whether he will lay all Papers relating to the conference upon the Table of the House.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON,) Middlesex, Ealing

I have received the proposals of the Government of India, and they are under consideration; but I cannot at present say whether it will be possible to lay the Papers on the Table, as the correspondence is still incomplete.
