HC Deb 02 April 1913 vol 51 c366
24. Mr. JOWETT

asked the right hon. Gentleman if serious complaints are being made by persons who have been induced to settle in Rhodesia concerning statements published by the British South Africa Company in pamphlets advertising for settlers on the ground that labour which in the pamphlets referred to is said to be plentiful is, on the contrary, very scarce; and whether he will have the statements made by the British South Africa Company in their advertisements, on which persons are being induced to settle in Rhodesia, examined and compared with the facts?

Mr. HARCOURT
