HC Deb 02 July 1906 vol 159 c1409
MR. LONSDALE, (Armagh, Mid.)

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the twelve coolies who have applied for repatriation have been returned to China, and, if not whether the Government will consider the desirability of commissioning them to explain to their compatriots in the mines the new proposals for inducing coolies to embrace the means of escape from their present condition.

MR. CHURCHILL

As these coolies have already returned to China my honourable friend's solicitude is too late.
