HC Deb 27 February 1906 vol 152 cc1020-1
MR. BRIDGEMAN

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if the regulations by which Chinese coolies are kept in compounds are to be rescinded.

MR. CHURCHILL

It is not at pre sent proposed to rescind the regulations of the first Labour Ordinance by which the Chinese coolies are kept within the premises of the mines. They are not kept in compounds.
