HC Deb 07 July 1924 vol 175 cc1744-5
3. Mr. SCURR

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the Report of the deputation which the Government of India sent to Fiji over two years ago has yet been published; and what is the reason of the delay in publication?

Mr. RICHARDS

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The question of the conditions under which Indians live in Fiji has been referred by the Government of India to the Committee appointed by them to confer with the Secretary of State for the Colonies on questions concerning Indians in the Colonies, and in the circumstances it is thought desirable to postpone consideration of the question of publication.
