HC Deb 04 August 1913 vol 56 c1024
1. Mr. CHARLES ROBERTS

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the 956 labourers repatriated this year from the Islands of San Thomé and Principé to the mainland of Angola carried with them the minimum sum of £18 each to which they are now entitled by Portuguese regulations; and, if not, can he state the average sum carried back by each labourer?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Acland)

I must refer the hon. Member to my reply to a similar question of 30th June last. I have not yet received the information for which I have asked the Acting British Consul at Loanda. I will communicate with my hon. Friend when I receive it.
