§ MR. FIENNES (Oxfordshire, Banbury); I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the experiment in white unskilled labour on one of the Robinson mines has been commenced; and, if so, what measure of success has been obtained.
§ MR. CHURCHILLThe experiment as far as I know has not been begun.
§ MR. FIENNESDid not the right hon. Gentleman make this statement to the House on 31st July—
§ MR. SPEAKERIt is contrary to order to make a quotation at Question time.
§ MR. WEDGWOOD (Newcastle-under-Lyme)Has the right hon. Gentleman taken steps to obtain for the House a Report of the Committee which recently sat in the Transvaal on white employment in the mines?
§ MR. CHURCHILLThe Report is on its way to this country, and while one cannot say anything about a document in advance, I certainly think it very desirable that it should be brought to the notice of this House. I will ask the Secretary of State whether it can be published.
