HC Deb 22 April 1915 vol 71 c420
85. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Under-Secretary for India whether the law in force in Ceylon regarding enticement and harbouring is to be adopted in substance in the new Assam Labour and Emigration Act Amendment Bill?

Mr. C. ROBERTS

I am not fully informed as to the law in Ceylon, but the Bill to which the hon. Member refers does not penalise the enticement of labour. It has now become an Act, and I shall be glad to furnish the hon. Member with a copy.
