HC Deb 14 October 1908 vol 194 c301
MR. STAVELEY-HILL (Staffordshire, Kingswinford)

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the minimum height of children recruited under the terms of the New Hebrides Convention has yet been fixed.

I beg also to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps have been taken to ensure separate housing accommodation for unmarried men and women under the New Hebrides Convention.

COLONEL SEELY

His Majesty's Government have issued instructions to their officers prohibiting the recruiting of women and children in the New Hebrides.
