Mr. OUTHWAITEasked the Prime Minister (1) whether any opposition to the employment of coloured labour in this country has been indicated by trade union leaders who support the policy of a fight to a finish; and (2) whether any coloured labourers have been recruited for use in this country; and, if so, can he state the work on which they are to be engaged and the wage to be paid?
§ Mr. PRETYMANThe answer to both questions is in the negative.
§ Mr. PRINGLEDoes the hon. Gentleman say that this question has not been submitted to trade union leaders?
§ Mr. PRETYMANThat is not the question, which is—
To ask the Prime Minister whether any opposition to the employment of coloured labour in this country has been indicated by trade union leaders who support the policy of a fight to a finish?
§ Mr. O'GRADYHave they been asked to indicate any opposition or for their opinion?
§ Mr. PRETYMANI must ask for notice of that question. There is a very large number of questions to-day.
