§ MR. HERBERT SAMUELI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Government of Lagos has recently issued a notice warning native workmen against going to the Congo Free State in search of employment on account of the low level of wages and the treatment to which they may be subjected in the interior; and, if so, whether he will draw the attention of the Governments of the other West African Colonies to this notice.
§ MR. LYTTELTONYes, and I will draw the attention of the Governments to the notice.
