HC Deb 12 December 1906 vol 167 c340
Mr. REES

To ask the Secretary of State for India, whether regulations exist for the space required on board ship for Indian coolies returning from Natal to Southern India; whether these regulations are properly enforced by the Natal Government; and whether, in a recent return voyage from Durban to Madras the "Umfuli" was improperly crowded.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Morley.) I have no information as to the regulations in force as regards ships returning from Natal to India; but I understand that the particular case referred to by the hon. Member is receiving the special attention of the' Government of Madras.
