Sir M. BARLOW (by Private Notice)asked the Minister of Labour whether he will make inquiries in regard to the settlement of coloured labour in Salford; whether he is aware that coloured labour comes into the docks on the ships, desert the ships, and settle in the Salford district; whether he is aware that this causes much annoyance in labour circles and much complaint by women on the ground of the treatment to which they are being subjected?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Mr. Bridgeman)On the 21st of October the Minister of Labour promised to make inquiries if particulars were supplied. No such particulars have been received, but, in view of the further details now given, inquiries will be made, and I will communicate with my hon. Friend in due course.
