§ MR. LAIDLAW (Renfrewshire, E.)I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will state in what other Crown Colonies besides Ceylon the Colonial Government runs its own workshops and undertakes contracts for private parties.
§ COLONEL SEELYThe arrangement referred to by my hon. friend is by no means unusual.
§ * MR. REESMay I ask whether State Socialism is or is not good business, and, whether the answer be in the affirmative or in the negative, is it less suitable to Ceylon than to the British Isles and to any other British Possession?
§ COLONEL SEELYThat is rather a wide and vague question, and I am bound to point out that this is a very modified form of State Socialism.
