§ 91. Mr. BENNETTasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if a delegation, composed of Indian and non-Indian members, has been sent from British Guiana to this country for the purpose of promoting a scheme of emigration from India to that Colony; and, seeing that the Indian members of the delegation have been repudiated as having no authority to represent them by the East Indian Association of British Guiana, who have further condemned they project as a labour scheme and not a colonisation scheme, will he inquire into their credentials?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Lt.-Colonel Amery)The deputation in question has now left this country, but some of its members have proceeded to India to consult with 1627 the Government of India. The composition of the deputation is not one in which the Secretary of State could interfere, but in considering the proposals which may be put forward by the deputation, due regard will be paid to the interests and views of all sections of the community.
